waddled

A waddle is an unsteady way of walking, often with a silly or comical look.

When people walk in a waddle, they usually can't help but smile - it's hard to take seriously someone who stumbles around like a duck on land. But that doesn't mean it's always funny! Babies and toddlers learn to walk by waddling, and adults might even do it when they're trying to carry too many heavy things at once or wear shoes that are too big for them. If you see your friend walking in a waddle after eating too much Thanksgiving dinner, don't worry - it's just the turkey talking!
