She's still trying to master the art of keeping her balance, but she's doing a great job. When she falls, she immediately stands up and starts over. She's determined to get this. I know she'll be running before we know it. Actually, I have seen her take off in a jog before. She starts walking, then sees something that catches her eye. She tries to walk faster, but ends up falling flat on her face. Poor thing. It really doesn't seem to phase her, though. She brushes herself off and goes for it again!
Yes, Annabelle's shoes are squeaking. The squeaky shoes that Grandma gave her are still a little big, but now that she's actually walking, I couldn't resist trying them out. Aren't they cute?!?!
Annabelle takes a brisk walk around the living room to the Christmas tree on a daily basis...more like hourly basis. I purposely hung several soft, unbreakable ornaments around the bottom of the tree because I figured both Jacob and Annabelle would be trying to pull them down. Well, Annabelle has succeeded in breaking all the "unbreakable" ornaments. She ripped them off the tree and the twine hooks came apart. The funny thing is, Jacob has been pulling those ornaments down ever since his first Christmas, but somehow, they survived. Annabelle totally destroyed them. So, now our Christmas tree is essentially bare around the bottom, except for the lights, with which Annabelle is also infatuated. She wants to eat them...or at least get them into her mouth.
Jacob's favorite thing to do is rearrange any ornament he is able to reach. Every time I turn around, I notice another ornament that has "miraculously" moved to a different branch on the tree. He was a tremendous helper this year in terms of decorating the tree. I asked him to hang ornaments all over, but he preferred to focus on one specific area instead. He did a great job, but, unfortunately, all those ornaments had to be moved up several branches...much to the dismay of a little Frankenstein. :)
