A few weeks back we went to the Jackson Outlets in Jackson, NJ, to go Christopher shopping. He was outgrowing his clothes and he needed restocking. Times are hard, and because neither Colleen or myself is very handy with the sewing needle(s) or machine we opt for the discount outlets...so sue me. Regardless, we ran into a kiosk where some dude was selling NFL merchandise and Colleen's mother bought Christopher a Chicago Bears dinosaur that rolls around the floor playing a really loud and obnoxious song...but Christopher loves it. Check him out trying to catch it.

FINALLY
So, the kid's been taking "steps" for the last week or so...but, for some odd reason, would never actually attempt at home (aside from the previous post where I mentioned that he took 2 steps unassisted). He'd be fine stumbling around his Nana Marianne and Pop-Pop Culley's house...and his godmother's (Jacqueline) house...but we'd bring him home...encourage and encourage...and he'd just kneel down and crawl...almost as if to spite us...getting down to crawl to his destination and smiling to jab us in our egos' ribs....but...finally...BAM. Now he's walked further, but I'll take what I can get. Enjoy.

Fantastic!!! Congratulations Christopher on a job well done and congratulations to the proud parents! He looks really confident when he's walking, too...like he takes a moment to think about how it will go, and then he just does it. Bam, bam, bam. No problem. I can't believe he's already walking...the last time I saw him he was but a wee babe. Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteYeah, and the crazy part is that he's walking almost all the time now...I love watching him develop into a little boy. I'm a very happy and proud dad I think.
