Look who's walking

Jack has decided that it's time to give mom and dad another heart attack. It's walking time!!

I took him to a playgroup on Saturday morning and just like he'd been doing it for weeks let go of a standing toy and took a few steps. I about died. Seriously? THIS is where he picks to take his first steps??? I didn't have my camera, my phone was across the room and Jay wasn't there. The girls all cheered and he smiled so we've decided that since he was the only boy in a room filled with a dozen girls and their moms that he was just showing off.

I got home and told Jay so we kept our phones around just to see if he would do it again. I just happen to get this on video, it's not that great and it's only a couple of steps but it's still considered walking.


I know it looks like we never have him fully clothed but I promise you we do. Around the house it's easier for him to just wear whatever or just a diaper. He's a very messy eater so his shirt comes off during food time and sometimes it doesn't get put back on. We've also had the hottest summer on record so we try and keep him as cool and comfortable as we can.

He's still building his confidence so he only gets a couple of steps but he's coming along quickly.

Today I get home from work and walk in the door only to be greated by Jack holding Jays hand and walking like a big little man. I quickly put my stuff down and had to get in on the action. Can you tell that Jay dressed him for daycare?

I love how he reaches for Dexter at the end. They are going to be best buddies as they both grow.

If I keep pushing him down will he stop walking? I'm not ready for him to grow up. I love my wonderful happy baby. Babies don't walk.
