Miss Busybody

Before I get into the exciting description of this video (she walks!) the Mommy would like to state for the record, that she is fully aware of how "fluffy" the blog has become as of late. Yes, that's right, the blog is full of cute pictures and amusing video, but severely lacking in actual words. Those of you without children may be be scratching your heads and asking why. The parents among us probably understand all too well. You see, Miss Baby is also Miss Busybody and that means time for blog writing can be very limited. Whereas Isa used to be able to sit squarely on her 3x5 foot non-threatening, childfriendly blanket with relative ease and safety... now she is nearly unconfinable (if that is an actually word.) And there seem to be sharp edges and electrical hazards at every turn these days.

Months back I posted about the frustrations of her semi-mobility. And the whining that accompanied her limitations. Well now she is fully mobile and luckily the whining has stopped, for the most part. But the fun, oh the fun, has now begun in earnest. And the Mommy has never been so exhausted at the end of the day. A typical morning in this house involves Isa cruising about the house pulling hats out of baskets and books off of shelves. And the Mommy following closely behind spouting her favorite and over-used mantra: Be careful! By 11am she's usually knocked her head on the wood floor atleast twice and gotten stuck under the bedframe more than once.

Sigh. The Mommy is tired, very tired. But without further delay... the video! Watch the video! She walks! Granted, she is holding onto her oversized plastic walking toy but still, she walks without a spotter! Since I am the Mommy, I have the right to say that it actually looks rather weird... she's so little. She's barely over two feet tall. And just nine months old. Yet there she goes tottling through the living room on those short little legs! Weird, sure. Incredibly exciting, absolutely!
