Indisputable Video Evidence

Who else is sad that college football is basically over?  My title is an ode to its end.

But we're not here to talk about football.  No!  Something much more exciting!  Babies walking!!

Yes, we're eating dinner off our laps in the living room.  Life with a 1-year-old.  Maybe one day we'll all sit down at the table together.  That day will have to be when she eats dinner later than 4:30pm because she gets ready for bed at 6:00pm and is nose-diving into her crib by approximately 6:15pm.

But that's neither here nor there, because HERE we have a decent video of her mad walkin skills.  There are still graceful falls quite often (as seen at the end) but even since the day of the video she's gotten better, and chooses walking first most of the time, until the whole slowness thing gets irritating and she finishes up with a crawl.  She has even quickly learned how to step down (rather than back down on her knees) our one step from the dining to living room.  So don't fret, Grandmothers - she's got that on lock-down.

My parents say that I started walking right around 13 months as well, so it seems the timing really is genetic as I've read.  So let's conduct a really serious scientific experiment: Anyone else out there know when you started walking?  And if your kid started walking around the same time?  Do share!
