Fourteen Months Old: To Toddle or Not to Toddle

Our monthly onesie pictures stopped at 12 months, and month 13 went by unacknowledged (where does the time go?), but I don't see any reason to quit doing monthly posts altogether. I suppose one she turns two, I'll have to quit referring to her age in months, but for now, I'm still tracking it that way.  A lot can happen in 30 days at this age!   Not that month 14 was a super eventful month for Evie, seeing as she took her first steps just after turning 13 months, and still has yet to start walking on a regular basis.  She's funny.  It's obvious she can do it; she just really doesn't see a need yet.  They even joke at school that she only walks on her own when no one is looking!  Although I hear she took eight straight steps yesterday, which is her record so far.  But once she got home, nothing.  She has, however, discovered the fun of pushing her baby stroller around the house.  And if she can keep up with that thing, she surely could walk on her own.  But that's our Evie.  She has a mind of her own.  She'll become an official toddler when she's good and ready!   I can't imagine where she gets her stubbornness from...  

This video shows Evie's "standing" skills (can you call that a skill?), and then finally shows her pushing her stroller.  You may want to fast forward through the lengthy, uneventful middle part, where I'm trying to persuade her to take the baby for a walk.  I guess that just further proves that she only does things when she's good and ready!  :)  


Sorry about the terrible quality of this video.  I took it on my iPhone.
