Quick, before I get Sidetrack'd

And he’s off!

Thoughtfully penned on April 23rd, 2009 and generally concerning J

Boo decided this week that it was time to get serious about this walking thing. Tuesday evening he walked around the living room several steps at a time. Yesterday he got adventurous enough to walk on the concrete when we were playing outside (although he did not like to put his feet in the grass!).

He’s still very much in that wobbly early-walker phase. He has to concentrate hard on what he’s doing and pause every few steps to regain his balance. Or he drops to the ground and gives up the walking thing for a faster mode of transport – all fours.

He’s getting more confident all the time as he takes more and more steps. Currently he can make it about halfway across a room in a single walking session. Soon he’ll be walking more often than crawling. By the end of the summer I’m sure he’ll be running all over the place.

And then I’ll lose my baby to the cute little toddler he’s becoming.

Noise from the peanut gallery

  1. I think I like the toddler stage better. :o ) BUT, I DO still call Ash a baby.

  2. :) nana said he was too cute walking the other night on skype!

  3. I can remember the day my Favorite Boy started walking like it was yesterday. What a sweet age! Of course, once they start, they never stop!
