My babies is now a toddler. I know this because she toddles. Any time she is standing up and wants to move she prefers to toddle and she can toddle quite well.
Toddling isn’t all benefits though. She has discovered the ugly truth about tripping. Things on the floor that she normally would crawl right over have the potential to trip her. She doesn’t trip to much and when she does she doesn’t make a big deal about it but it is her new danger.
Her other new danger is the doctor, at least from her prospective. We went to her 1 year appointment today. She got two vaccinations and blood drawn. They drew the blood just like with adults. Although, it isn’t as much fun watching the vacuum tubes fill up when you’re holding your crying daughter still.
She was a trouper, though. She didn’t cry terribly long after the shots or the blood draw. Poor thing.
On a side note, we decided to give her the VZV (chickenpox) vaccine. I was strongly against the vaccine when it was only supposed to last 10 years but I’ve heard that it is now believed to last much longer. The doctor said it was good for lifetime but I don’t trust her. Our real doctor moved away…
