See how my baby walks...
My darling daughter is sooo makulit. She just started walking (well, the official date for that is Dec 02, 09 @ 10 months but I didn't have a cam then) and she's exploring the whole house as much as she can. Whenever she sees that the door to the motor shop is open, she tries to rush off and sneak out. I find it hard to run after her as my tummy is overly large now. I just yell "No" but she just looks at me with a naughty smile and then goes on with her mischievous deed without heed to what I'm telling her. Annoying but adorable really :)
I'm so so proud of her... not only every time she takes her awkward balancing acts but especially when she stands up each time she takes the wrong step and falls.
When she first attempted to walk on her own, I did try to stop her, simply because I knew that there was a possibility that she'll get hurt. However, I also knew that if I didn't let go, then she would never learn how to walk at all. (Frankly, letting go of a child so she could learn and do her own thing is much harder than letting go of a lover.)
Whenever I see her taking her steps, I get excited and worried at the same time. I'm happy and I watch each step intently, praying that she won't slip or fall. Most of all, I get a weird form of fulfillment as a mom. I love my daughter sooo much and I admire her for her innocent courage and persistence...
