walking: dunno if it works but i train charlene to walk by letting her hold my 2 index finger, one on each hand... walk w her and say 1, 2... 1, 2.. 1, 2, 3... and she's so excited over it, furthermore i encourage her to stand up by making some baby language like "yi tong qiang", then make struggle sound, like struggling to get up... then she actually follow me and with enthusiasm...
