She walks!

It only took 17 and a half months. I think my daughter is going to share my "learning disability" when it comes to coordination. The only sport I ever did well at was running, since that only requires putting one foot in front of the other. Back in middle school, I think gym class and art class ruined my gradepoint average. And somehow I managed to fall out of the bleachers while watching a volleyball game. True story!

In grad school I walked around bruised and scraped up during the whole semester of wind-surfing class. Then I tried iceskating, which ended up being my lowest grade in grad school, tied with Eukaryotic Molecular Genetics. I don't know which was more painful.

So I'm not all that surprised that it took my daughter a little longer to walk than the average child. And I'm not surprised that the daughter of the basketball coach was running around at 9 months. I swear it's all in the genes.
