Since the weekend Joanna has started toddling. I'm not going to say she has started walking yet as it only lasts for about 4 steps before she plops onto her bottom. But she is starting try walking between places before plopping on her bottom and crawling the rest of the way. Sometimes after she has plopped down after the 3-4 steps, she will stand herself back up again and take another few steps. She behaves very proud when she does this. This means I now have a dilemma with her footwear...the pair of pre-walkers we bought soon after we arrived in NZ have been totally worn through at the front (ie. the sole and upper are totally seperate and there is a big gaping hole that you can see all her toes through!). But now that she looks like she is very close to walking I feel it would be a waste to buy another pair of pre-walkers as it wouldn't be long and she will be needing proper walking shoes (not to metion the change in season from closed shoes to sandles). So at the moment she is in limbo with no shoes to wear when we go out.
She has also started to stand up more and dance when music is playing on the stereo or we've got a DVD on. It is quite a cute style of moshing with her bobbing up and down, nodding her head and clapping or flapping her arms.
We are back

I have to recommend Bobux shoes for new-walkers. They were selling them at their factory outlet in Sth Auckland for $16 which is a really good price for them as they can be pricey ($25-35). Anyway, they are really soft and they stay on!!! They are really good quality... the only thing is they aren't waterproof but with summer coming up, it shouldn't be a problem... they sell sandal type ones (more range for girls too).
Anyway, just thought I'd share... I love them and both my boys have worn them from 10months till about 20-21months.
Would definately like to see a video of the moshing (& toddling) sometime.
Sounds cute! All the grandchildren seem to enjoy the music. Tim was also "dancing" whern I was there.
