So our almost one year-old is starting to walk, first by standing up with support, then cruising, and now walking using a wooden walker. This presents some interesting issues in terms of baby proofing our house. It has taken some time, but we use a combination of approaches: rearranging our furniture, removing some things to a higher height and teaching her not to touch stuff (my CD cabinet is built in).
Pretty much letting her just do whatever she wants, even encouraging her to crawl more (she still does, since it's faster lol). The 2 times that i have cracked out the walking wings, she expressed her displeasure (very loudly), which makes it one more almost-new product to be either sold, or saved for the next little one (if any).
Every little thing she does, each developmental milestone fills us with pride and sorrow, because our little girl is growing up so quickly. Exciting times, especially since we are approaching her first birthday. =)
