Our Walking Monster...

Last Thursday (May 3rd) at 10 months and 10 days old, Alex decided it was time to give walking a try and off he went! He had been getting really good at standing in the previous weeks and was standing in the kitchen holding onto the front of the refrigerator. Matt and I were both in the kitchen and he turned to look at us and took off away from the refrig. He made it about 3 steps before getting too excited and going down. Luckily he is really good at catching himself so he hasn't had too many falls that hurt him. We took him into the living room and he walked back and forth between us. I guess he decided that was fun because he wore Kathy out the next day trying to walk every where. Each day since he has gotten better and can go farther and farther. I give it one more week and he will be full force. I love watching his funny walk and finally caught it on video:

It is so funny how he can go from 0-60 with learning things. He did the same thing with crawling. Once day he had no desire to crawl and the next day he was on the move. He is one determined little man and when he is ready to do something, he is going to do it! I guess Matt and I better be prepared!!
