look who decided to walk


avery had taken his first steps a while ago and we thought oh he will be walking any day. nope, he didn't want to. then lately he has liked to hold our finger and take laps walking around the house. he would get mad if you let go, refused to do it on his own. a couple of weeks ago grandma shellee called me on my way to pick him up and said they had to stop him from walking because they didn't want me to miss it. and still weeks went by and avery could still care less to walk. then last sunday he decided he would give it a try on his own. he enjoyed it. and hasn't really walked much since. he was walking a little this morning though and even picking up his ball to throw. i think we need to get him a helmet for at our house, i am nervous for him and his not so sturdy/confident walking and our little steps. wish him luck.

He is doing so good! I can't believe how old he is getting. When do you find out what you are having this time?

How cute!! We love how he keeps his hands up in the air the whole time. We miss everything living so far away.

Yay!! He is doing so great! Hopefully his confidence will lead to falling less so that he doesn't have to wear a helmet just for walking ;D

Too cute! I love how he still has his hand up in the air like he's still holding your hand. :)
