Walking



Soon after the New Year Cara decided that walking really was preferable to crawling and, except for an occasional scoot, she's been up on two legs ever since. As expected, the best part of walking upright is that Cara can carry things.

Little things aren't so exciting, since after all she could crawl okay with a spoon or a small stuffed animal in her hand. She even managed to crawl with a small book. But her laundry basket? Now that's really something!



Cara's also become more attached to her stuffed animals, so of course they get carried around a bunch too. And we've discovered why so many toys come with handles - all the better for carrying them!

The downside to her fascination with carrying things is that the house quickly becomes littered with everything that Cara can get her hands on. Those slippers could be almost anywhere.

Yay!! What a good job with the laundry basket! Walking around carrying things is a lot of fun, isn't it Cara! Megan does that all day long too. Her favorite things to carry are balls, oranges and a bag of rice. As you can tell we spent a lot of time in the kitchen!
