Pretty cool also that she's already "sauntering." What a force she's going to be as she grows up!

BTW, that "shifting its own huge weight" bit had me a bit worried too *shifting my own huge weight from one side of the desk chair to the other*

She saunters, swaggers, sashays, slithers, and any other type of locomotion imaginable. (Our all-time favorite was the time she waddled by with blue latex gloves on her feet and chortled, "Look, Mama, I'm a blue-footed booby!" Kids -- gotta love 'em!)

Here's the horrifying part of it all though -- she still has not mastered the fine art of riding sans training wheels. ACK! Tips, anyone?

she'll learn when she's ready. I learned when I was 9 and I think Knot's son was even older. REALLY older.

how I learned:
my father showed up with a brand new big bike for me. It didn't have training wheels.
He rode it in a circle and he said "you do it" and I got on and rode it.
It was so wonderful, like flying. Before that day I was afraid to try and very resistant.

good luck

There are also bikes designed to teach the balance without the training wheels http://www.pedobike.com/ tho' it looks like they are designed for smaller fry.
