Walking in Shoes

12.5 months old
First Sneakers


The "experts" say when babies are just learning to walk they should not wear shoes, it is best for them to be able to feel the ground. So up to this point Katie has never worn shoes. Since she is a "professional walker" now :) we figured it was time for sneakers.

We actually tried the sneakers on for the first time last night, we did not take video of it because she was hysterically crying. Who new shoes could evoke such trauma? It was actually a little funny because she just stood there and refused to walk (while having a mini meltdown). So we obviously didn't leave the sneakers on for too long. We figured we would ease her into it a little bit each day.

So today I figured I would try the sneakers again and as you will see she was much more accepting of this concept of shoes.

You will notice she is kinda wobbily when walking, she is not used to walking with sneakers on, but knowing Katelyn she will be running laps around me in her sneakers before I know it.
