Am I Ready?

Many, many years ago a small red-head didn't walk until she was 17 months.

A little over a year ago, a little blond boy didn't walk until he was 19 months.

Another little red-head is 15 months. Am I ready for her to be walking? (Not when I see the toddlers running in the halls and up and down the aisles at church)

With Easton, I honestly didn't mind him walking late. People probably thought I was crazy to not be worried that he wasn't walking yet. I knew he could do it if he wanted to, but he just wasn't ready. (my kids tend to be very cautious) He was never a big baby, so carrying him when I needed to wasn't a problem (even when I was 8 months pregnant) and he crawled around the house and got into anything on his level anyway. And I knew I was a late walker, so that added to my patience.

Keagan is a tiny bit more brave than her big brother, not much, but a little. Am I ready for her to be climbing, walking, running, and everything that comes with that? I don't know yet--will get back to you....... But, this is a cute video, so enjoy!

My boys didn't walk until 14 months and I was glad for that too. Looks like Keegan is close though!

I meant Keagan :)

Carter was 16 months when he started walking too. I say the longer it takes, the better for our sanity!

That is cute! I think she needs to walk for her dolls sanity. You need to get video of her crawling with her doll (or george). I think that is SO FUNNY!

So cute! I love watching little kids figure out new things.

My boys were walking at 11 months- Phebe didn't walk till she was 16 months. I worried and worried about it, but eventually she walked and then I realized I like it better when they take longer.
No worries!
