Lyla's birthday is two weeks from tomorrow, and the smart money says she'll be a functional walker before then.

Consider:

In mid-August, Lyla pulled herself to a standing position.

In mid-September, she could stand unassisted for three seconds.

A couple weeks ago, she could walk unassisted for two steps.

And as of today, she can suddenly walk halfway across rooms.


As soon as Lyla figures out how to get herself to a standing position without holding onto anything, she will deem crawling officially passé.

Will she be a toddler then? Isn't a toddler one who toddles? My goodness, time zooms.
