We have been very fortunate in the last two years -- well, for multiple reasons, obviously -- we have quite a few great friends who have bestowed "hand me downs" upon us (furniture, toys, and clothes). One of the toys we got from our friends, the Carrolls, is a pushing walker. While Carter does enjoy playing with it, the majority of our house is hard wood. The toy moves medium/slow on our carpet, but then hits the hardwood and well, let's just say the result isn't pretty. Carter has taken quite a few face plants.
Just today, though, we pulled out the walker again and the results were dramatically different. Our little boy has developed enough balance and strength in the past few weeks to have control of the walker on the hardwood. He's now cruising all around the house -- and it's like a whole new world has opened to him! Now if only we could get him to steer it straight...

Love the pix! That walker was very popular at our place too... imagine if you got a jetpack for Christmas and you get the idea what it does for a kid's mobility.
