We've really been working on walking and taking steps. In hindsight, I'm not sure I'm ready for teetering toddlers. Fortunately, I think actual walking is still a few months away, but we have been making great strides.
Both Natalie and Abigail are old pros at pulling up - on anything and everything: furniture, their little kitchen, toys, mommy and daddy... pretty much anything slightly taller than they are. They are also quickly mastering the art of cruising. As I write, Abby just slide the whole length of the couch. They are also very good at holding on with one hand while they bend down and grab something from the floor. Abby is especially good at this.
The other thing we are working on is walking while holding mommy or daddy's hands. Natalie is doing really, really well at this. She really lifts her legs and bends her knees and a great marching motion. Abby will move her legs forward, but doesn't bend her legs as well as Natalie.
It's only a matter of time before someone lets go of a couch or chair and tests the waters of balancing. Then, walking is just around the corner.
