My folks arrived today. They’ve visited quite a few times this year, so that’s great. This is the first time, however, that I think Exie has really remembered them from the time before, so that’s even greater (for them, too).
On the way home from the airport I told them that I thought that Exie would be walking before they left in a week. Of course, I wasn’t sure about this, but both Susan and I have been feeling that it is imminent. In our playgroup, she is the only one not walking (no pressure). But this does mean that she sees people her size toddling around all the time; I’m sure that this must help move her towards her own first steps.
Anyways… sure enough, that afternoon Exie let go of Mama on her own accord and took a few steps to end up in Gramma’s arms. Gramma’s gotta’ love that! (I will post some video soon.)
