The Lion Walks Tonight...

As I shared in the previous post, Lucy has been doing a great job standing and cruising along furniture. Ms. Steph, Lucy's teacher, had shared that she was enjoying using the push walker at school. I shared this with Aunt Amy, and lucky Lucy got an early birthday gift from Aunt Amy, Uncle Paul, Zoe and Ella. Lucy's new push walker is a lion with a felt main and fun colors. His purple nose activates laughter and calypso style music that gets little Lucy dancing away. She is so cute holding on to the front of the lion while she wiggles, jives and bounces to the beat. She also loves to push the lion. Lucy is doing a great job walking with her new friend. If she falls, she just continues forward on her knees - silly girl! Lucy is also testing the waters by letting go and trying to stand without holding on to anything. I think this new toy is going to really help prepare Lucy for those first steps on her own. And, it will grow with her. Once she has mastered walking and isn't interested in pushing her new lion, he converts into a riding toy! The fun will go on. Thanks to the Nolan's for the early birthday gift. Lucy may be walking by her birthday!
