It’s Friday, so it’s time to link up with the lovely Jocelyn from The Reading Residence and decide on my Word of the Week #WotW.
This week our word is;
As regular readers know, Baby took her first steps at the beginning of April, but then decided she didn’t really want to do it again. I think she needed to build up her confidence and stability. She then started taking a few steps (4 or 5) to the side of the play pen and continued doing this for a few weeks. Until almost two weeks ago, when she just decided that she could walk and off she went!
This week has seen Baby toddling in the open air for the first time, starting on Sunday at Cotswold Wildlife Park. She then had a little toddle round a clothes shop, I was in during the week, until she started trying to pull the clothes off the hangers….. then she had to be rugby tackled! We had a little trip to the park and she loved bimbling around on the grass and learning how to deal with the undulations. She loves toddling around so much, that we have had some tantrums when I have tried to pick her up. She even asked to come off a swing twice this week, so she could carry on toddling. This is unheard of, as usually I have to prise her fingers off the swing to remove her.
It is so weird watching my little Baby wandering off across the park.
Enjoy my posts? Why not

Thanks hun, it is very exciting. Are you going to BM’s ? x
Eek look at her go! She looks so tiny and cute in those little leggings! I can’t wait for Jasper to start walking, but then again I’m sure it means needing eyes in the back of your head!
Author
Thanks! It is quite full on! x
Gwenn is a little bit behind Baby (even though she’s only a week younger) and I was starting to get anxious. But yesterday she started standing up and lowering her bum to the ground then standing up again, which is totally new. I feel a bit more confident now that she will walking soon. I know it’s not a competition but you just want to know they’re developing normally, don’t you.

Author
You’re right 🙂 x
Love it 🙂 So funny as well as us mums get so excited when our babies start walking but it doesn’t take long before we are wishing we could put them down somewhere and know that they will still be there instead of trying to wonder off and explore lol! #BinkyLinky
Author
Thanks, oh although I am pleased that she is walking, I am already remembering the time when she just used to lie on a play mat. It was a simpler time 😉 x
Oh lovely, now all the fun starts. It’s great when they start a new stage x
Author
Yes it is quite ‘exciting’ already! x
Aww thats so nice! Made me remember the first time my son walked. It was in the Children’s Center where they are going to weigh him. While waiting he just zoom to the toys. He never stopped since =) #pocolo
Author
Ah bless him, thanks hun x
thats a new step in hers and your life, watch out!
Author
Yes I am getting the impression I will have too x
Those first few open air walks are just so much fun! I still love them now though Arthur’s toddling has broken into a run which makes him quite a lot more difficult to keep up with… 🙂 #WotW
Author
I don’t think I will cope when she is running! x
yay! so much fun when they start walking x
Author
🙂 It is ALL she wants to do at the moment x
Mine took a few steps and then gave it a break for a bit too. Now I can’t keep up with them. Enjoy being able to catch up with her!
Author
Thanks, she is already trying to run! x

Author
Thanks hun. She is flying now.

There will be no stopping her now! Enjoy it while you can still catch her 😉
