Henry Still Almost Walking

Oh, he is so close. He takes forward steps when creeping along, instead of the sideways shuffle he did at first. He can also stand now for a few seconds by himself before he decides to slowly lower himself to the ground and crawl. And, if he manages a few steps, they are often accompanied by a little screech of joy



Luckily, he has an encouraging big sister. Eleanor helps him (even when he is not sure that he wants or needs help) to walk around the room. This often begins with hysterical laughter and ends with hysterical screaming -- Eleanor screaming "Henry you want to walk!" and Henry screaming in protest.



And, she is even giving Giraffe a little assistance in learning to walk.
