Walking Off Now

So I wouldn't doubt if Claire is walking in a week or two! 
Crazy I know, but she has been pulling up on everything, but even more recently has been letting go, moving sideways, turning around and trying to walk off. She has explored the whole house via her walker and I have also been helping her to take steps with me holding on to her. 
She is growing up so fast-it's all bittersweet, but there is also no stopping her. She knows what she wants and then decides when and how it must all be done. 
Her favorite things are still birds, planes, the cats and water.
This week she was also intrigued by a dog and tried to imitate its barks. She has also been imitating a cow on one of her walkers going moo moo.
She continues to say mama or mommommom when upset and of course dada. She also likes to talk and echo us. uh uh eh eh ah ah aghhhhh aghhhh And so on.
She is a mess and I love her. 
I'm just trying to cherish every moment.
We've also been quite busy exploring the world. im glad there is a lot to do around us and in SA. We have also been meeting new friends for us at our new mom's group & then also through story time.
It's been fun and exhausting and exciting and I wouldn't have it any other way!
