Upgrades

Piper decided that her red-with-regular-tennis-balls walker was just too, well, regular for her tastes and asked for an upgrade.  What’s a mom supposed to do?

Appease her, of course!

I found pink tennis balls (I’m not against cutting up breast cancer balls, apparently) and hung pink and white tassels from the handles. 

Just when I thought she couldn’t get any cuter…

She walked the entire perimeter of Costco last night.  Literally.  The whole way around the store.  The kid can cover some serious distance.  She’s starting to get a lot better at steering (her problem is that she leans the direction she wants to go, which makes it go the opposite direction), if she’s paying enough attention.  And she’s still laughing the entire time she’s walking, which just cracks me up. 

Not that that’s saying a whole lot- the kid spends most of her waking hours keeping me in stitches.  She’s good to me that way.

  1. So glad she is doing so well with this walker and enjoying it!

    Just curious Aimee but can she steer it or does it just go straight? Our walker only goes straight and it's too heavy for Lucas to turn. I'm not sure what we should do.

    Sorry we missed you the other day. I'm sure we'll meet up again soon.

  2. Of course it needed to be all girled up!

  3. Way to go Piper! You are going to make your mommy start running to keep up with you soon! The good thing is that even if she loses sight of you, she will be able to find you from your adorable laughter!

    I love the upgrades! Our PT tried a walker out on Sweet Pea this week, but the handles weren't like yours and really didn't work well. I am going to try to get the video posted this weekend...I'm a slacker right now!
