Annette now loves her Elmo push toy. She would grab it, stand upright, and then start running as fast as she can only to tumble over. The first time she did it tonight, she had a rough tumble and was stunned for a few minutes. But she became very determined and kept running with it time after time, tumble after tumble. Until we had to take the toy away and tell her to stop.

She has also become very confident with coming down the bed, sofa or your lap. She almost always remembers to back up, put her legs and feet down on the floor first, then sit down before starting to crawl off. Only thing is, she doesn’t really know how to judge heights, so she would try to come down from our bed as well, which is too high for her.
