Walkin'...for your love!

We are literally days away from an independent walker!! I don't know what I fear more: chasing her around ALL the time or a broken back from carrying her. I swear it's TIME for this girl to be on her own b/c she is HEAVY! I have a dull ache in my side that I'm assuming is from not switching sides more frequently when I carry her. I hope my muscles don't permanently stay like that...that sure would look funny. Her favorite thing to do right now is to stand up, drop whatever is in her hand, bend down to pick it up, stand back up and repeat. Over and over. One of the funniest things I've witnessed lately is the time she did this in her crib with Lovie going over the side. She stood up, dropped Lovie over the side, looked down and went "Unh!" Like, "That wasn't supposed to happen, now what do I do?!." I cracked up. I guess I get my kicks from the video monitor these days instead of the TV. It's nice to see her personality coming out more and more.
