My son has officially crossed the line from baby to toddler. Okay, there really is no definite line marking the transition into toddler-dom . But DS (dear son) is now walking more than he's crawling, I think that qualifies.
Only about a month ago he was crawling around like a madman. He'd stand up using the couch or ottoman for support and "cruises" around them while hanging on. Now he's walking with no support. He still has some work to do on his balance, but I'm guessing within another month he'll be even better.
The nice part about him walking is that he can walk around the house with us. We no longer need to carry him into his room to change his diaper. He is much more independent.
The bad part about him walking is that he is much more independent. He wants to explore. If there's a room he wants to go in, and he can't, he'll fuss and cry. And because he's standing up, his reach is a lot taller. We're having to put our valuables and electronics on higher shelves.
He's still working on the talking part. He says "dada dada" pretty well. I think he's referring to me when he says it although it can be hard to tell sometimes. Whenever he sees our cat he makes a "tsss" sound. Not even close to the word "Kitty" but we'll take what we can get.
More adventures in parenting!
