Finley is making some major progress in walking these days. It's really impressive how far she's able to walk now and how much more she initiates it. She's also getting really good at dodging toys on the floor and can shuffle to the side! The weekend before last, I would say she was walking about 30-40% of the time which was a major improvement and as of this past weekend, I would say she's walking closer to 70% of the time. The main reason she isn't walking 100% of the time is because when she falls, she pulls up to her knees and begins walking on them instead of pulling herself to a full standing position. She is capable, however, of going from her knees up to her feet so it's just a matter of time!!!!! She seems like such a big girl when she's walking all around!
Everyone says that when babies are ready to walk, something just clicks and they take off. I'm not sure that's really how it's been for Finley. She was taking steps 4 months ago, but obviously, wasn't ready to walk. She's also had weeks where I thought "Wow, she's definitely a walker now" to be followed by weeks of absolutely no walking! It just goes to show that all babies are NOT the same! Of course, I wouldn't trade my little pumpkin for anything!

YAY!!! She's walking!!!! And, I have to say that the "disclaimer" actually made the video funny! I mean you feel bad for her, but at the same time, its pretty humerous!
YAY Finley!! I love watching her walk around fussin', it's so funny and cute! Lyla will eventually walk, she is SOOOOO cautious. To answer your question, I'm unsure about Lyla's weight, thankfully she hasn't had to go to the doctor for a L O N G time, so I guess we'll find out where she is on her 18 month appointment.
So cute... especially with that little ponytail on top shaking back and forth!!
