When I was born, my legs were spindly sticks. Now, thanks to a healthy diet and regular exercise (bicycle legs and wiggle worm are my favorites--best done when my parents are struggling to change a dirty diaper), they are like tree trunks, strong and stout. I’ve become very fond of practicing my standing. I can balance myself for a millisecond when my parents move their hands, and I enjoy leaning against things, although it’s not long before I’m slumped over. Nonetheless, little by little, I’m determined to improve (baby steps, right?). After all, I have a goal to meet: Mom was walking by 8 months. I’m sure if I keep up this pace, I can beat her!
