Mama poo

[judecorp]

I'm on this online board that was originally for mamas of July '07 babies but now has expanded and is mostly summer '07 babies with some outliers. Well, today someone posted a video of her baby walking. Her baby was born on October 18th.

I try not to harp on the whole "Punk is not walking" thing but umm, this baby is 3.5 months YOUNGER than mine. Yes, she's an early walker, and yes, Punk is still not "abnormal" yet (next month, baby, next month!), but it still makes me feel like a great big pile of mama poo.

Time for bed.

Don't worry too much yet. D didn't start walking until 14 months and I know other kids who didn't walk until 16 months. We got D the Leapfrog Learning Band Walker toy thing at 12 months and he LOVED LOVED LOVED it! I think it helped him out learning how to walk. Of course he was so used to using it that when he took his first steps he had his hands straight out in front of him because he was so used to pushing the toy! He looked like a mummy but it was so cute! M didn't really play with it at all though. I still have it if you would like it.... though it might be tough finding a box big enough to ship it in.

We have several walker toys and she walks with them just fine (when she wants to). Last weekend at the grocery store she walked for at least 20 minutes with a kid-sized shopping cart all by herself - all I did was turn it when she was going to crash into something. At day care she walks outside with push toys, too. She's had push toys since she was 11 months. It's so frustrating!

Thanks for the offer, though. It's sweet.

Don't worry, she'll be walking any day now I just know it. Especially if she's walking with walker toys!
