Biped

biped, noun: a two-footed animal

The monkey has two feet, and she is using them. She started walking more than a few steps while we were on vacation, and she can now stand up without holding onto something. Of course, this means she wants to walk and not be carried wherever we go. She walked by herself through Office Depot and wanted to pull everything off the shelves, so I had to find something for her to carry for me. Otherwise I'd have had to chase her through the store replacing everything she'd touched. Today she wanted to walk by herself through the parking lot, and stopped to touch every car we passed.

The next phase, I believe, is the climbing phase - I'm scared!
