Walkies version 4.3

A jump from version 3.0, you say? Well, of course! After all, it's been a while, isn't it? Upik is nary the little wee babe who just sat in the stroller anymore. Just like her older sister before her, she's one stubborn, opiniated little Lady, and we just adore her like that.

Back to the walkie version, we can rewind a bit to recap.

Thanks to the Dog, we continued with our daily walkies (a necessity for the Dog, both for hygiene purposes, aka toilet, and for her exercise). There were times when walkies happen in the early morning sun...

... perhaps with the Big Sister along, which allowed Mama to take some posed pictures of the 'Offspring'..

Some other time walkies happened after the Big Sis went off to school, leaving Mama with these remaining two... Upik, as you can see, was already sitting up instead of just lying down on the stroller.

There were some quick walkies in the evening without the stroller, just the Dog and 3 mischievous girls....

There were also evening walks just with the Dog and Upik while Big Sis went off playing with her friends, big girl that she is.

However, Upik soon outgrew the stroller. Not quite because she can't fit anymore, but because she started STANDING on the said stroller, even with the belt on!

Well, usually she does that in order to be carried by Mama. Which, of course, is fine for short distance, but definitely not fine for the whole duration of the walkies. So, when her birthday came around, Mama & Daddy got this Little One a tricycle, not quite unlike her sister's old one (which had broken quite a long time ago).

Tadah!
(She just made that face because of the sunlight!) The tricycle was a hit, even with her big sis (and the big sis' friends. I just withhold the pics)

And so everybody was happy (or so Mama likes to think). The Baby got a new, novel ride, Big Sis got to push the Little One, Doggy got her walkies. Even Mama was happy, since the new ride handled the road (and off road) better than the stroller.

Until Upik started standing on her ride again... hah!

I guess it can't be helped. When she wants to be carried, this is what she does. But the other day was a bit different.

She wanted to walk herself!

Until she/Mama got tired, that is. She from walking, Mama from being so slow, hahah.
As for the barefoot? Well, this Mama tries her best to put the baby shoes on, but in the early days, we did forget a few times. Then there are also times when the Little One does NOT want to put on shoes.  She would actually sit down on the asphalt to remove her shoes too!

In any case, there you have it, the whole series from lying down on the stroller to walking behind the tricycle. Ah... babies, they grow up sooo very fast.

Here's to more versions of walkies in the future. Cheers!
