50 Weeks & Walking!

So, the big news this week is that Carmen has started walking.  Yay!!  She is rather tottery, but loves to walk back and forth between us, and has started pulling up on furniture and then walking away to wherever she wants to go.  It's usually not far, and sometimes ends in a bump and a bruise, but I expect she will master this walking business very quickly.  It is very cute to watch her, but also sad because she is not a little baby any more.  She is also getting both front teeth in now, which is probably why she was rather grouchy this evening.  Now that it is winter, the weather is turning quite cold and windy, so we only take short outings at the moment.  I take her for a walk in the sling every morning that we have sunshine, as she likes to touch all of the plants, leaves, flowers and tree trunks.  This makes our little walk around the block take a very long time!  Carmen also spends much of her day making me (and anyone else she can) read her books.  Sometimes I have to read the same book 7 times in a row.  But my boredom with her books is outweighed by her love of them, so I will continue.  She is almost a year old now, so if anyone out there is looking to get her any gifts, new books would be great :)

Here is a video of Carmie walking for anyone who didn't see it on Facebook:
