Julia stands, dances, struts with and without help. She has not convinced herself to let go BUT when she does she'll be runing. Walking has not officially happened but it's up to her. I let her do whatever she wants, ready to catch a misstep. She likes to explore and look at everything indoors and out. Yesterday I pulled her in her radio flyer red wagon. Much better than the stroller! And she was in her pool last week. She hasn't made her mind up about grass. Somedays it's sticky, other days it's fun to pick.
