Between her crawling only and walking on her own stages Naomi went through a phase where she frequently would get around by walking on her knees. This gave her the stability that she was comfortable with while allowing her the freedom to carry something in her hands and keep her eyes looking around the room.
At first she would only go a few feet this way but eventually she got to the point where she would frequently "knee walk" across a room. She would still crawl and cruise a fair bit but knee walking was a big part of how she liked to get around.
When she started walking just before Thanksgiving we decided we better get some video of her walking on her knees like this before she gave it up altogether. A number of people told us that they had never seen a child move around in quite this manner. Here's a sample of Naomi knee walking from November 25th (the night before Thanksgiving).
