More walks (without prompting) by late 13 months

She was practically walking the whole time we were at Kakak's house last week.

Mummy was finishing up the pratas for tea break around 4:00pm when we hear Kakak "fishing" for Ning's "Kakak" next door. Nana'd say "Kakak" just audibly so that if Ning's awake, she'd hear her. And Ning responded with a soft "Kakak", and then a louder "Kakak" until Nana heard her!

So, Mummy promptly brought Ning to the door and out for her afternoon outdoor play time, where she can roam in the play ground, or just around the block and stair cases when it rains. This girl loves climbing staircases for what reason I cannot fathom. She'd put one foot up, then lean back holding Mummy's hand and arch her back using Mummy for leverage to get her other foot up (turns out it's not as fun to just lean forward and pull up the other foot).

So on this particular afternoon, Kakak Nana and Abang were both in, they welcomed us to their home and soon, Ning was up and walking on her own. She seems to do this most often around Kakak and Abang. We played Ring a Ring of Roses around Ning, Peekaboo (Abang's best at making funny faces after hiding behind his door curtain), Choo Choo Train (with her as the head engine), a paper aeroplane and just went crazy with Ning walking.

The main reason, I think, she walks so freely there, could be their living room is so expansive and free from clutter! I quickly removed the center piece (her music centre) and rearranged the living room, and she's also standing up to walk more often at home now!

Hopefully, she'd be a professional walker by the time lunar new year comes! Hehe, then she'd free her hands to do the "gong xi" greetings and grab ang pows! :D Just kidding :)
