Down the Bog

Watching children grow from birth all the way to adulthood is a series of milestones. Some big and and some small but all of them significant and we reached another milestone yesterday with Abby taking her first tentative steps.

This is the kind of achievement that every Mum and Dad gets very excited about and then the significance starts to dawn as to how much more trouble this walking thing is going to cause for everyone. Just like crawling does. The new freedom of movement that leaves in it’s wake a trail of destruction!

Abby’s been standing against things and moving around holding on for quite a while and she’s also been able to just stand and balance. But now with Mummy’s encouragement she can take a few stuttering steps. If she feels like it of course!

So soon as she masters this next stage we’re going to be evaluating the house for yet further hazards as gradually her crawling is superceded by her walking.

One day we’ll be able to have our home back to how it used to be with nice ornaments and stuff but it won’t be anytime soon.
