Walking Around

In the last few days our little Will has decided he wants to become a toddler!!! Until last week Will would take one or two steps between the couch and chair or person to person. He would realize what he was doing and then fall down to crawl. Last week he started taking a few more steps and then on Thursday, he was off! Although, if he wants to get from point A to point B in a hurry he crawls. He gets so excited that he has walked to something he does this funny laugh when he reaches his destination. It is so funny. He has also been cracking Shawn and I up with his walking. You see, he didn't just start walking like you and I think of walking. He picks up his entire leg and then puts it down and repeats that with the next leg. It looks like this, a drunk man walking around! Then when he has his bottle in his hand walking like that....Well...it's just down right hysterical. I tried for days to get a picture of this but the little stinker always saw me. It is hard to sneak a photo of him.

Will walking towards me. Too cute!!

Will and Chief continue to make mischief of one kind or another. These two conspire and are always into something. Here is a photo of the two of them. They are cute together but watch out!

Chief and Will

In this photo you can see how big the boy is getting! He is eating very well and has developed rolls. He is very proud of this fact. Recall how skinny he was?!! This is also the best "drunk walk" photo I could get. To see it in person is hysterical. Today he is starting to get the concept down better and walking more normal.

Will learning to walk.

After a long morning outside helping Daddy in the garage, Will fell asleep in his chair after he finished his lunch. I was able to wipe him up and get him into his bed with out him even waking up. Now that's tired!!!

Monday we took advantage of Labor Day and did not labor around the house. Shawn, Shea, Will and I went to the zoo with his parents and brother. Will wanted to get out and walk around. Here are he and Shawn. They did not know I was taking this picture. In the end, I'm glad that they didn't. I think this is too cute. Dad helping out his son. Precious.

Shea wanted to climb on this sculpture. I thought, ah, we can all get in the photo. That doesn't usually happen since Shawn or I (mostly me) are taking the pictures. Here we are! Will was busy looking at a little girl behind me who was trying to climb up.

We are walking up to the Asia Quest. Here are Shawn, Shea, Justin, Paula, Wayne and Will.

Now I'm officially chasing a toddler. In the course of one week I now have a Kindergartner and a Toddler. Oh my how quickly things change. This is an exciting time!!
