Ok, so not really solo - but not holding on to stationary furniture or on to Mommy or Daddy's hands. We are hoping for a more steady walker for her birthday - one that doesn't tip over so easily - then the real walking can begin, maybe on the new patio. It won't be happening in the new playroom - we are still waiting after 3 weeks for the windows to come in - so if you are here for her birthday party, please avert your eyes from the construction zone.
