walking fool

NJ has finally gotten the hang of walking! He had his first steps around June 21st when his grandparents were visiting. On July 6th, NJ decided that he was going to walk or else! He took a few steps and fell and got right back up! He spent a couple hours that night trying to walk around the house. We were proud of him for not giving up. NJ is a determined little boy when he sets his mind to doing something.

On our vacation, NJ improved his balance when walking! He really enjoyed walking around Grandma's living room. He had persistance there too! He even wanted to walk outside.

My back feels a lot better now that I'm not bending over to help NJ learn to walk! It has been great watching him walk around the house now that we've been back. My day has just gotten easier!

It's a tradeoff. NJ doesn't require anyone to hold his hand, but now he gets around a lot faster and so he still must be followed.

He has to constantly be with mommy as well. Golden gets more of a workout than I do.

Kudos to NJ. I hope mom has some good sneekers to keep up! It won't long till he's a running fool!

Watch out sunrise. You are the mom of an official toddler now. It's a whole new breed, but I am sure you are up to the challenge
