How to “Walk the Walk” As A Baby

Hmmm, daddy’s shoe is pretty cool, I wonder if I want to take it….

DSC_0365

Oh, hello there, baby peers. Have you started walking yet?

DSC_0367

That’s cool if you haven’t, but you’re really missing out. I just started and I’m already working on my dance moves.

DSC_2666

Remember when I talked about surviving the first 5 months of your life? Or when I shared my thoughts as a crawling baby? Well, that was cool and all, but I’m obviously past all of that “child’s play”.

DSC_0076

And it’s freakin’ awesome…..Haaayyyyyy!

DSC_0128

Okay, just had to get that out of the way. I’m done.

DSC_0123

Just kidding, one more time!! Heeyyy…..Oooohhhh!!

DSC_0126

Seriously, I’m done now.

DSC_0116

Now that we’ve established I can walk *cough* and dance *cough*, I’ve noticed an increase in my ability to get what I want and figured I share a few of them with you other, less advanced, babies. I’ve even been taking notes in my cool book to remember all of my new findings.

First off, as a walker, you can reach things you never could when you were floor-bound. Speaking of, I’m a little hungry, let me just grab something from the fridge. Oooo, I see a nice jar of NuttZo calling my name!

It’s okay, daddy bought it, but it’s mine because I said so. I even had him make me some tasty Pumpkin NuttZo Oatmeal Bread like this.

Since I’m high-maintenance, I care for sugar laden food in my diet, so I make sure he only sweetens with high quality stevia like Pyure Sweet. Another tasty dish daddy made is this chocolate black bean puree with NuttZo and Pyure Sweet mixed in.

Before I eat, I need to take my shirt off so I don’t get it messed up.

DSC_2790

It’s my choice, I swear, I like to keep my clothes clean! C’mon, dad, I’m trying to give advice here, hurry with food!

DSC_2799

Ahhh, seriously?! Can’t you just get one good spoonful in my mouth? This is annoying and embarrassing when I’m trying to talk here! We’re done, put it up, dad, I’m leaving.

DSC_2797

See, when you’re walking, you can be more upfront and demanding. Plus, if you don’t like how something is being done, now you have more options in expressing your disdain. For example, since daddy sucked at getting the food in my mouth, I’m going to move this stool in front of the fridge.

DSC_2752

Yep, that’ll show him. And I still have my shirt off even though I’m a girl. Like I said, whatever I want, I do! Grrrrr!

I am also learning to take matters into my own hands. If I am trying to play and find that something around me stinks, I make a point to find the source.

DSC_0179

Obviously, if you’re smart like me, you go to the trash first.

DSC_0217

But nope, can’t find anything there. Maybe under the rug?

DSC_0222

Negative. I hate to admit it, but I’m a little stumped.

DSC_0186

This is a good time to bring up another pointer; when you begin to question whether you have what it takes to rule the house, go find something and pick it up.

DSC_0190

 

The bigger the better, and try walking it with it if you can.

DSC_0193

If you’re as good at ruling as I am, go for a one-hander and make sure mommy and daddy sees you in all of your glory!

DSC_0200

Uhhh, crap, I think that just helped me find the source of the stench from earlier. It’s in my diaper. Which bring me to another thing I’ve picked up on………I can take my diaper off whenever I want!

DSC_2094

If I’m in the kitchen and feel like pulling it off, well, I’m gonna do just that! Mommy and daddy reallllly don’t like this, so I do it more. For some reason, when my diaper is smelly and I take it off, that means I have to take a bath. I don’t understand exactly, but I like baths anyway.

DSC_0282

Even if I’m enjoying the bath, I keep my parents in check by showing them what happens if they make me mad.

DSC_0244

What? You think I’m kidding?

DSC_0264

I NEVER kid!

DSC_0296

One time, daddy was being annoying with the camera….

DSC_0333

I told him to stop or I’d eat the turtle’s (his favorite animal) head.

DSC_0335

When I heard the camera shutter after I warned him, I showed him I was serious!

DSC_0337

Then I slowly started walking (because I can do that now) closer to him to show the now headless turtle. But….

DSC_0339

Surprise, I never bit the head off!

DSC_0340

You might think I chickened out, but in reality, my reasoning is two-fold. Smiling and pretending to be cute makes your parents forget all bad that you have done, and I enjoy the tasty food they hand me.

DSC_2932

Because, without the food, I resort to my sleeve, and that just doesn’t taste as good.

DSC_0347

In sum, as a walking baby, you have to make freedom for yourself. Otherwise, you’ll find yourself stuck in your crib with a stuffed bear all day.

DSC_0154

So heed my advice, babies, or suffer the consequences. You have been warned!

  1. What a great set of pictures. It’s so much fun seeing a kid learning to walk and gradually getting more confident and quicker.
