The warm weather continued today, a welcome respite from the frosty January conditions of the past few weeks. After our walk along the Canal Walk yesterday we spent some time playing in the front yard. And today Madeline walked all the way around the loop in front of our house. It's close to a tenth of a mile - a long way for someone taking such tiny steps.
Even though Madeline's getting pretty skilled at walking around the house, I have to remind myself that she still needs some help when we're out in the world. The ground (especially the pavement) is much less forgiving to baby hands and knees than the carpet. And the ground outside isn't always nice and level. Madeline has enjoyed exploring the yard and picking through the leaves and weeds scattered about, but wasn't too interested in walking unassisted (I was holding her hands on our lap around the loop today). I guess there's no need to walk somewhere else when there's so much interesting stuff right under your feet.

It is amazing that it was only weeks ago that she was taking her first independent steps! Maybe tomorrow she can experience walking in her first snow!
