No snow for Sam
Posted By pamelamyers on January 29, 2011
As I have mentioned before, we have a lot of snow right now and we are all pretty disgusted with it. Even Sam is not too thrilled with the whole thing. She is always a little wary when we take her out sledding until she gets the hang of it, and the other day Mark made her a snowball and brought it in the house and we couldn’t even get her to touch it! Mark went out to shovel (again) but before doing so decided to let Sam see what was going on outside. I absolutely love the look on her face. She is standing in the doorway looking outside and she appears to be thinking, “What the heck? Are you crazy? I’m not going out there!”
She is pretty much walking exclusively now, with very little scooting around on her butt (except when she is really, really tired). It took what seemed like forever since her first real steps on her own, but at 16 months, she is there. She walks very confidently now. I think she has finally realized that walking is fun and can get her places much more quickly and efficiently. She carries things, bends down and picks things up, and steps over and around obstances without any trouble now. She also regains her balance easily. I am sure that very soon she will realize that running is not that much harder than walking and then off she will go!

Great to hear Sam is now walking all of the time.
