Amu has been walking for 6 weeks now. She started walking on June 12 2008. We had been expecting it for a while as she was standing by herself almost 2 months before that and one day all of a sudden she took her first steps. I was so excited, I shot so many videos,called up home and told my parents and in-laws about it. But then I realised that she was just growing up too fast.
When someone see's her walk, they say "wow! she's just 10 months old and is already walking, that's great". But, I ask myself what is really great about it? Why do we want kids to do things early? Why do we compare babies actions with some benchmarks set by others? Don't all babies grow at their own pace? As long as they are healthy and on track with their developments, it should be fine.Each baby is unique, they do things at their own time and I strongly believe they should do it at their own time.
All said, I love to see her walk, taking those tiny wobbly steps. She has started to explore all corners of the house. She follows us around where ever we go. I go into the bedroom and there she would be right behind me.She even started climbing steps and causing us some worry.
I guess it's a part of parenting, excitement and worry. I am enjoying every moment with her.
