Look at her go! Think of all the exercise you'll get chasing her around! Who needs the gym?

Posted by: Lisa at August 21, 2006 09:36 AM

Oh she's cute!
:)

How is your house so neat? I have a 17 month old and my house is always a big disaster!

Oh, and she is adorable!

World's Most Beautiful Child accomplishes World's Most Amazing Feat! Good job, Mia!

Posted by: Kristen at August 21, 2006 09:49 AM

Did you notice her kicking things out of her path. Way to go Mia!!

Posted by: ann adams at August 21, 2006 09:52 AM

Wow, look at her move! You are right, you won't get much in the way of free time now until she's asleep. Perhaps all the walking will wear her out and she'll take mega naps? :-)

She's too cute.

Posted by: Alissa at August 21, 2006 09:52 AM

Awww, I love how she puts a hand on something from time to time, like a little stability check point. Too cute! As is her outfit.

Posted by: Traci at August 21, 2006 10:00 AM

Oh, yeah, you're in trouble now! Such a cutie... go Mia!

Posted by: Kate the Shrew at August 21, 2006 10:14 AM

I have the biggest grin on my face.
Thanks for the smile, Mia.

Posted by: valerie at August 21, 2006 10:17 AM

What a cutie! Look at her go! You are in trouble now. Here she goes to the cabinets and things on tables!

Posted by: Bunny at August 21, 2006 10:23 AM

Look at Mia go! I particularly like the anti-paparazzi hand up to the camera move she's already mastered.

Posted by: bad penguin at August 21, 2006 10:38 AM

Wow! Look at her! Firstly I want to eat up those cheeks and also twirl those tiny two curls on each side of the head that she has. And yeah, very cute walk. Kinda like a Baby Frakenstein!

Posted by: Dee at August 21, 2006 10:50 AM

You cannot get any cuter than that! Well, except for my grandkids who are still not cuter than my kids when they were small.

Mia is such a cutie!

Posted by: Red at August 21, 2006 10:59 AM

Quick! Hide the car keys because that's what's next.

Posted by: wordgirl at August 21, 2006 11:01 AM

awwwee- so cute. :)

Posted by: Island Girl at August 21, 2006 11:36 AM

I thought she was going to head out the door! What an adorable chub-chub.

You will find a whole new batch of things to child proof.

Posted by: Sharri at August 21, 2006 11:38 AM

Wow! What a pro - she doesn't look like a drunken ape AT ALL!

Posted by: Amanda at August 21, 2006 11:50 AM

Wow! Congratulations, Mia! She is walking SO well! I can't believe how graceful and stable she looks while she is walking. My kids both looked like sailors that had been hitting the sauce pretty hard. They still have their moments. But then again, I have my moments as well. Drunken sailor walking moments.

Posted by: dawn at August 21, 2006 12:01 PM

Oh my goodness - she's moving! I can't even believe it.

Posted by: Dawn at August 21, 2006 12:03 PM

You can just see she is thinking, "Hey mom, Whatcha doing? Can I see? I want to do that too. Where you going? I want to go. You can't get away now!"

Posted by: anna at August 21, 2006 12:52 PM

I almost can't stand it! She's walking!!! It is a whole new era, my friend, but it's all good. Especially when she understands to come when you call for her = one less time Momma has to lug her around the house.

Awesome!!!

Posted by: Sherry at August 21, 2006 01:24 PM

Oh dear.

Posted by: Sparkle Pants at August 21, 2006 01:25 PM

Uhoh. She's pretty quick and steady on her feet already. I sense great trouble in your future. :)

Posted by: laura at August 21, 2006 01:41 PM

Insulin STAT.....so much sweetness.

Free time, no more!

Posted by: Wicked H at August 21, 2006 02:12 PM

I'm watching this at work, where I have my speakers on mute but I imagine sort of an "ink-ink-ink" sound as she toddles along.

In any case, she's so fucking cute!

... sorry about that. I'm probably not doing much to help you curb the swearing.

Posted by: Rengirl at August 21, 2006 02:20 PM

I love how she keeps grabbing hold of the wall and stuff. Like she's not completly sure she can do it without support.

Um...Beth...free time???? What are these words you speak of?

Posted by: Melissa at August 21, 2006 03:54 PM

Um, is that a head of lettuce at the beginning of the clip?
She's SO cute! I love the touching base with the walls and furniture. I walk like that when I forget to take off my reading glasses...lol.

Posted by: Jaycie at August 21, 2006 04:40 PM

Lily made me watch this about three times. When I asked her what she'd like to tell Mia she said, "Sam I am. Eggs and Ham. Can she say letters? No more else, just letters and just Sam I am and just Sam am am, too. I-N-G. And nope. Just those twos!"

I red it back to her to confirm, so try it out on Mia... maybe she'll understand.

PS My kid can totally talk like a big person. Seriously.

Posted by: Elaine at August 21, 2006 05:31 PM

ah...so much cuteness.

i love watching babies walk.

Posted by: ali at August 21, 2006 06:34 PM

I expected her to teeter or grab on or stumble or fall. She was just crawling! And now, full speed ahead!

Wow. She's grown so fast...

Posted by: Emily at August 21, 2006 06:43 PM

Wow, she's really motoring along - thanks for sharing!

Posted by: Beth in StL at August 21, 2006 08:40 PM

hahahaa.. you are in soooooooo much trouble now!! *lol* rock on, mia. :D

Posted by: Manda at August 21, 2006 08:48 PM

Adorable!
Mia Bean is very mobile now. The girl was on a mission. Too cute...

So was that the head of lettuce from the "lettuce fight" post?

Posted by: donut at August 21, 2006 10:06 PM

OY! She's just TOO cute! I love the sound of her feet against the floor! Omigosh. My heart is melting. I should video the monkey scootching on her butt.... No walking yet. just scootching....

Posted by: haley-o at August 21, 2006 10:18 PM

Actually, of course I have lots of scootching videos. I just haven't uploaded it....I'd be crazy not to video it!

Posted by: haley-o at August 21, 2006 10:20 PM

Wow, she's really moving.

Thanks for the grand tour Mia! You have a beautiful home.

Posted by: Math Daddy at August 21, 2006 10:27 PM

I swear... Shepherd held out his hand towards the computer, and said, "Mi-A" in the most longing, heartbroken sort of way. Then, he proceeded into reciting all of Shakespheare's Sonnet 18. Should I be worried??? :) What are you up to tomorrow, say lunchtime? or Wednesday??? I think the little man misses his Mia... :)

Posted by: Corinne at August 21, 2006 11:21 PM

my son always followed me so he could take the camera from me!! ;)

She's adorable!

Posted by: kristied at August 21, 2006 11:54 PM

Oh....I love it when they still have the stiff no knee bend walk. Too cute...and yup... she is highly mobile and ready to go. Do you have a good pair of running shoes?

Posted by: linda at August 22, 2006 01:14 AM

So cute - and it looks like she's a big helper in the kitchen too.

Posted by: cassie-b at August 22, 2006 08:08 AM

The cuteness is blinding. Perhaps put a bell on her and let her go? ;)

Posted by: Pammer at August 22, 2006 09:00 AM

Beth, first thought out of my mind was..OMG no she isn't....You had us with the lettuce good one, wink-wink! Lovely video of Mia. THE PARTY HAS JUST STARTED!!

Posted by: Jennifer at August 22, 2006 09:16 AM

You didn't need that free time anyway, did you?

Posted by: Queen of Ass at August 22, 2006 10:20 AM

WHY must they walk? You'd think it was a crucial part to the whole growing process or something...

Posted by: RSM at August 22, 2006 11:20 AM

Ack! That's the cutest thing ever. My nearly 13mo just started walking three days ago. It's incredible to watch!

Posted by: Lisa at August 22, 2006 03:12 PM

She started the lettuce fight, didn't she?

Posted by: statia at August 22, 2006 03:20 PM

Heh! That was like cuteness overload! Just want to pinch those cheekers...but I promise, I won't. :)

Posted by: Kate at August 22, 2006 06:11 PM

Oh my gosh. I love her.

And do you have a new cat????

Posted by: jen at August 22, 2006 06:47 PM

Beth...when did she grow up? I mean, I swear she was just born!!

She's too cute. Thanks for sharing.

Posted by: Isabel at August 22, 2006 09:05 PM

she was gearing up for another lettuce fight. I could totally see it.

Posted by: Pamalamadingdong at August 23, 2006 06:10 PM

Oh my goodness. I have tears in my eyes from the amazingness of this. Also, that is an adorable outfit. She is just scrumptious.

Posted by: erika at August 24, 2006 08:04 PM

First of all, explain to me how you had free time... I'm still trying to find mine and DD hasn't even started crawling. Help me!
