Your 19 Month Old

Each month my inbox gets flooded with e-mails on the development of my child. The e-mail today informed me that:

Around month 19, your child may begin to run! She might look a little awkward and fall quite a few times before she's able to master this skill, so make sure her environment is safe.

RUN?!? Are they serious??? I can't even get my 19 month old to walk more than 50% of the time on her own. To her it is a routine, rather than something she should do and constantly needs to be reminded to stand up and walk. Forget about walking at our house. She won't, and throws a fit if we even try to make her. The only time she walks at our house is during her nighttime routine. Although she does walk 80% of the time at daycare, so I know it isn't an ability thing. I truly believe she is already against us. What will the teenage years bring???
