Officially: we're in trouble

James started walking Sunday. It's really cool, but a little concerning as well. He had taken steps before, one or two steps to a piece of furniture, but when it came to walking, he hesitated and would not do it. He would consider it, then sit down. Sunday, he overcame that, for whatever reason. He took steps from one place to another without any coaxing. He walked around for about 20 minutes, even a 15 feet stretch at one point. It was really amazing to watch. Yesterday, during the day, Bets says he walked a lot more. Of course, he's no Jefferson Pérez. He still falls a lot and we have to walk with him to catch him if he falls the wrong way, but I'm sure he'll get better quickly now that he can practice. I took a video of this, and I'll post it in the next day or so.

  • Dang! My kid still isn't crawling. She had her 15 month checkup last monday and the doctor said that though she's all up to speed with everything else, we shouldn't expect her to walk until she's about 18 months. We asked why, and the doctor actually took Audreys legs, flopped them around and said, "She has rubber legs." with all seriousness.

    My child will still be better than yours... somehow...
