Another milestone!

Laurna is officially weaned as of Monday, so that's something of a big deal! It came about rather by accident - I was expecting she'd be nursing once a day for a bit longer - but there you go! She's indicated a couple of times that she has noticed, but she also hasn't been overly upset by it. Since I know this can be a difficult transition for some babies, I'm very grateful! She also hasn't gotten a bottle in months, so it's nice to not have to worry about weaning her from bottles in the future.

She's still not walking on her own yet, but is in that holding pattern where it could be a matter of days, weeks, or months. She seems pretty cautious about it, and since she gets around really well without walking, I don't think she feels the need to rush it. She definitely likes to zoom around while leaning on her baby walker or while holding someone's hands. Recently she's also started trying to climb up things, which so far has not resulted in any mishaps - we'll have to be even more watchful, though, I'm sure!
