Walking


Being the receiver and the photographer is not easy, so this is the best shot I have gotten of Jack walking so far. Each day Jack is walking a little more. He giggles every time he tries it, probably due to my reaction to his efforts. He can walk 7 or 8 steps from John to me, and he is letting go of furniture and walking 4 or 5 steps before stumbling. He has a lot more confidence if he knows I am going to catch him before he falls. This evening he stood for the first time without pulling up on anything. I expect that he'll be walking pretty well by the time we make our trek north in April.

He's Obviously Not Having Any Fun...

Daddy Made Jack Very Happy This Weekend


See?


We had a great weekend. We hung out together and got a lot done around the house. We figured that we may as well get is done now instead of waiting until the weather is so nice that we don't want to do it. Our big news from the weekend is that on Saturday Jack took his first steps. He walked from the ottoman to the crib in the nursery, probably four or five steps. Jack's been standing unassisted for the last week or so and walking between me and Daddy, but this was his idea. No one was dangling a carrot cell phone to entice him to walk. Big news!
