Baby can crawl over to tables and chairs and pull themselves to a standing position. When you walk into the nursery in the morning, baby is standing up and shaking the rails. Baby is ready to try walking. Begin with a good pair of shoes.
The day my niece took her first steps she was at my house. I stood her up next to my knee. My sister sat across from me at the other end of the couch. When she called to my niece with her arms outstretched, I aimed my niece in her direction and waited to see what would happen next. She wobbled and swooned a bit, but kept on her feet.
Our mouths hung open as we waited to see if this would be the day that she would take her first steps. One - two - three - and she dropped to the floor. My sister picked her up and we all cheered. My niece laughed, too. Another milestone had been reached.
Baby Photo Ideas:
When you are preparing baby to walk keep your camera close at hand. Take pictures of baby pulling up to a standing position and walking hand-in-hand with you and daddy.
To make sure you capture those first precious steps on camera, have someone else ready to take the picture as daddy aims baby in your direction. Before you applaud her steps, send her back the other way towards her daddy’s waiting arms for another memorable picture. Also, take pictures of mom and dad hugging and celebrating baby’s accomplishment. Now, is also the time to get a great “foot” picture of the baby, too.
Baby Scrapbooking Ideas:
Find some foam building blocks and use them to construct a ladder design on the scrapbook page. On top of each block, paste a picture of baby’s walking progress. The top blocks should hold the pictures of baby walking to you and then to daddy.
