Walking and a Song


 
 
I really started trying to walk while we were in South Carolina.  Practicing requires a few things: 2 firm bodies to help me go between, willingness on my part, and, for better results, NO CLOTHES!!  One night I just couldn't stop!  Aunt Misty and Dada were helping me and it sure was FUN!!

Since then, I keep trying, but the marble floors scare me just a bit.  I really like to stand up and balance on the bed and don't mind practicing on the rugs in the living room.  Yesterday, without thinking, I walked ALL BY MYSELF from one couch to the other.  Mommy and Daddy were super excited.  They tried to get me to do it again, but no.  I just crawled.  Then a few minutes later, I wasn't thinking again and took a few steps away from the coffee table and out towards the toys.  But as soon as I realized what I was doing, I went down and back to crawling.

Then just today, November 13, 2010, I was sitting on the floor reading some books.  I pushed myself up with my legs and stood by myself for just a few seconds.  IT.WAS.AWESOME!!!  Mommy and Dada say that, just like I was with crawling, as soon as I figure all of it out, I will take off!!!  After lunch, Mommy and I were singing songs and this Children's Praise song came on.  Mommy said it was a good one to remember as I learn to walk!  The lyrics in red are the words we thought were best for me to remember right now!

Everything that moves or breathes
Sing a song and praise the Lord
Lay your troubles at his feet
Sing a song and praise the Lord

CHORUS
 Oh what a lovely noise
When we raise our voice to sing
I want to thank you Lord
Your the giver of all good things

If I'm rich or if I'm poor
Sing a song and praise the Lord
If I'm shakey or if I'm sure
Sing a song and praise the Lord

Oh what a lovely noise
When we raise our voice to sing
I want to thank you Lord
Your the giver of all good things

If I'm weak or if I'm strong
Sing a song and praise the Lord
If I'm short or if I'm long
Sing a song and praise the Lord
If I'm up or if I'm down
Sing a song and praise the Lord
If I'm square or if I'm round
Sing a song and praise the lord

  Repeat Chorus Twice!
