Because Peter did not like laying on his stomach very much, once he could sit up we started putting him in his walker so he could be in the kitchen with me when I was either cleaning or cooking. His progress from just sitting to cruising has been cute.
He first started out by stomping his feet so hard that he actually propelled himself forward. You would think that it would hurt on our wood floors but he did not seem to mind.
He next learned to lean back and work on his reverse driving skills still stomping to go forwards.
And now he flys around the house like a crash test racecar driver! Not much gets in his way except for the rugs, which is nice! But the look on his face when he sees something that he wants and can actually go get it is priceless! He is loving his freedom and even though my feet have bruises from him coming to say hello I love that he can explore and entertain himself. Now if I can only keep him out of the trash can....

I think he looks like a bunny hopping forward. So, cute! I wonder why backwards is easier for kids, Julie started crawling backwards before she could go forward.
That is so way cute! He can really move in that walker! I am impressed! How close is he to doing it for real?
All he needs is balance and he is off and running-he will walk with someone holding his hands.
Okay, my favorite is the fact that every time he backs up, he looks behind him. He's a better driver than I am!
