Walking Walking

I found a way to make riding in the car quite tolerable. What I do is demand that my parents put on the "Baby Songs" DVD and I immediately go into a state of complete relaxation. I don't know why I love to watch that video over and over...but I do.

Lately I have been making a beeline from the backyard patio straight to my sandbox. Mom says I sure am determined and single minded.

My walking continues to improve every day as well. Right now I can walk over to Mom's purse, rummage around for something nice, then walk around the room with it. And its only getting better!

My first steps

I've been able to stand and take 1 or 2 tentative wobbly steps for about a month now. However, I've been reluctant to go any further because I keep falling down on my rear.

I think I'll note May 20th as the day I started taking several steps at a time. It's very liberating to be able to cross the distance between the couch and my firetruck without having to crawl.

I can go about 8 steps at a time now. Any day now I'll give up crawling altogether. After all, that's for babies!
