He Walks!!!

Aiden has been trying very hard lately to take off, and just before his birthday party I really thought he would. He had been taking a few steps at a time, and then a few more. Well about a week and a half ago, he did it! He took off and hasn't stopped since.

Our time with Aiden these days are spent taking his hands out of the dog food and water, trying our darndest to keep him out of our cabinets (everything ends up all over the floor), and off our stairs!

Not only can he walk, but he can CLIMB! The scariest of it all! Walking is no big deal, it keeps me running and on my toes, but climbing is sooo scary! He loves climbing up the stairs, but can't quite grasp the concept of coming down them yet. I have to say I think I am a pretty laid back Mommy, I let him go and I follow behind him. He just loves it so much. I want him to learn how to do things, and feel fufilled, but I think Josh and I need to make a trip to Target for another baby gate! We have one at the top of the stairs!

Yeah for you Aiden, you get bigger and bigger everytime I turn around!

Mobility is so fun, and then so not fun! :) Camille climbed before she walked. I found her literally on top of my piano when she was 9 months old, and she didn't start walking until 14 months. It was then I realized how close I needed to watch her, and attuned my ears to the sound of the kitchen chair sliding across the floor, and the quiet squeak of the pantry door opening.

Aiden and Cooper!
