Standing unaided!
Hi everyone,
Well just over 2 weeks ago Ellie started walking along with her little walk along pram after seeing my nephew doing so. She takes it everywhere and it's like a wee mini zimmer frame which is very cute! Over the past few days she has been standing unaided but when I take her hand for her to walk along with me she throws a hissy fit and sits down and crawls off!
I obviously don't want to force her to walk when she's not ready but it seems as though she knows what she should be doing she's just not able to do it if that makes any sense? I want to help and encourage her so any hints and tips would be great!

how is she doing??? If you have you and another person she trusts...like your mum or a good mate..then one of you hold her and put her in direction of other person. The 2nd person open their arms and encourage her to come to them. she may/may not but it is good game anyway. She will walk in her own time and soon you will be wondering why you ever encouraged it..lo..
how are you doing?? hows things with her dad? hope you ok and fulfilling some of your New Year requests...
take care

I'm on the whole doing a lot better, NY resolutions gone to pot lol...got the flat so delighted about that and had my 23rd bday yesterday so out this weekend to celebrate which will be good!
As for Ellie's walking she took 1 whole step then gave up but she is definitely getting there, will take off in her own good time! Not sure about these cruisers/walkers shoes don't know if it's worth spending ??30 odd quid on shoes that will only last her a matter of weeks then she'll need walkey ones...any suggestions girls?

Cruisers are fine for when they are walking as the soles are hard enough to be worn outside, but i wouldnt pay the ??20 for shoes for babies that cant walk yet either. im lucky as we have a clarks factory outlet near us so i get them there i have paid ??10 for both pairs of freyas, but some times you can get a real bargin, phoebes first pair of clarks shoes cost me ??3. mothercare do some quite good ones for less, also i expect that clarks will have a sale in a few weeks to get rid of their winter stock and they often have them half price then, i am such a bargin hunter i have only ever paid full price for one of phoebes pairs of shoes, they are just so expensive and they are out of them in 5 minutes. xx
