Little Miss Independent

Now that Addie has her own set of wheels to move around in, she has gained the ability to do what a girl always wants to do: check out shoes.

Being a fan of cute shoes myself, I find myself simultaneously pleased and displeased. Pleased because maybe one day she'll enjoy shoe shopping as much as I do (and hopefully with me), displeased because sucking and biting are not good ways for anyone to check out shoes.


Most of the shoes are too heavy for her to actually hold, so she gets them in her little grip and then drops them when she pulls them off the shelf. Addie then peers over the edge of her walker, and looks at the shoe (now on the floor) with a little bit of wonder. She also does this "peering over the edge" bit when she drops toys from her walker and her high chair.

    Glad she can't grip those shoes for long!
    How's she doing on the crawling effort?
    remember...that is a very important aspect of learning how to read. sounds goofy, but it is proven. Babes who go from walker to walking, instead of crawling to walking have a greater chance for reading problems/diabilities. hope the unsolicited words don't aggravate! love, mom
