Hi ladies, well at 10 months and 3 days, and 6 teeth later, our little chunk Jakey decided crawling was no more, and he walked 3 steps unaided! He now is up to around 8-12 steps before landing on his bottom. He stands, turns and walks all without falling! It's unbelievable to watch. He finds his balance, the arms come out in front of him, and he's off! He very seldom crawls now, and is into everything, loves to climb. (God help me, lol) It's great for loosing this baby weight though, haha. The pounds are literally falling off (YAY!). I also find it hilarious watching him walk over to his big bro, and try pull the earbuds off him when he's on his iPad.... Oh and the poor dog gets a ragging if she's in his path.
How's everyone else's little ones doing on the walking front?
Re: Walking at 10 months!
She's making up for it on the verbal front though. She's learning new words all the time it's amazing.

Ahhh, the first words. Lovely! The sweetest sound hearing your baba's first words. What does she say?
Jakey started quite early just saying mum mum mum, then dada. Now, he's stopped! I have no idea now what he's babbling on about, lol. Although I could have sworn I heard him say 'Fuckin whatever' the other day!
But, just like you said...he is into EVERYTHING now! Cabinets, touching the TV, pulling anything within his reach off the table, all the pillows off the couch, no end in sight! Everyday it's like a tornado went through the house!
You can see he's very proud of himself with the walking though, and is having a blast doing it!
yeah I'm not in a hurry for walking! It's been hard enough with just the crawling and climbing so wishing you ladies all the best with your super active babies.
She says so many words she's got a little vocabulary now. She says cat, duck, clap, mama, dada, num num (get me food!), up! (Pick me up now mom!)---it's always hilarious hearing her yell/scream UP in the morning when she's tired of playing in her crib. There's a little bunny song I play for her that goes 'hop little bunnies hop hop hop' and she starts chiming in with "hop hop hop" too cute lol.
Her grandma was just opening her recipe book for her and there's a picture of a chef and she goes 'look chef', and my daughter starts going "shesh!", we were all like what? This kid picks things up fast.

I wasn't prepared for this,lol our first was a lot calmer and not a climber at all. Need eyes in the back of me head with this one!
God help us all. Haha.
Our poor cat too, he doesn't understand "soft" or "nice" whatsoever yet! We are practicing lots of "NOs!", but all I get is a laugh and smile right now.
@yellow1daisy, that is amazing she is so verbal! I definitely think they focus on one area, either being super verbal or super physical! Our son still only says "mama" & "dada" (sometimes)...lots of babbles here and there, but nothing I can decipher yet. He's just SO active. Hoping he can pick up on some new words soon and tone down the activeness a bit!!
Your little fella is gorgeous. Those lips and eyes!
Enjoy the peace before the chaos begins! xo
@yellow1daisy wow! That IS amazing! Your sweet girl is really talking. Bless her. I also agree they focus on one thing at a time.
Makes me laugh that Jake can walk, but can't clap. You'd have thought it would be the other way round haha..... (As I type this he's trying to get back into the walker he's just climbed out of)
@shelbydd that's exactly what Jakey was like just before he took his first step. We did the walk to daddy, then back to mummy thing too. He pushed his walker round like a shopping trolley for a few weeks before the first steps. I think you're right, it's just around the corner! Very exciting!
I love watching him steady himself, the concentration in his face, and then he's off. It's the arms out to the front that tickles me up, he uses them to balance himself. Didn't expect it so soon though, this little body stomping round the room, haha.
I want my little baby back just for a few more months at least. Thank goodness he still loves to snuggle with mama.
Mama & dadda too! Boss. I bet her little voice is dead cute. How are the boys with Piper? Have they adjusted to having a baby sis? Bet they dote on her.
Here's what Liam has to put up with.... Well 1 thing anyway... Haha
My September '15 kiddo is the same way about only wanting to play with forbidden objects. Toilet paper is especially fun!!!
@Momofsweetps good lord! That is early! Same here. Lots of toys, but prefers to splash in the dogs water bowl, or pull the fireguard over and sit on it. Looking all pleased with himself. The washing machine has become a particular favourite. I quite often find it turned off now, mid cycle. It's the lights, and the buttons are so easily pressed and just at his height! He loves to watch it when it's spinning too, and the vibration just baffles him. His little chubby face pressed into the glass. Super cute.
@jweber4747 wow! Another super early walker! Running now to! Ahh, the Tupperware, it's a good one that. Pots and pans here, with a wooden spoon. He loves it, my ears don't though! Haha
looking forward to a clap or a wave. Jake dances like crazy when music is on, but no sign of a wave or clap yet!
Jake's a risk taker too, we call him cheeky monkey, as he's always swinging off, or climbing onto something he shouldn't be. Little tinker. lol.
&kmcshane0211 thank you. He is. He's amazing. Just need to get his bedtime routine sorted and things will be perfect. He sure keeps me on my toes!
