2 Steps, 3 Steps, 6 Steps ...

So how many steps do you have to take to be considered a "walker"???! Well I'd say Blake's walking now!!! He's been taking 2 steps for a few weeks now, but today he's been very brave! He's taking around 6 or so steps! Maybe even a couple more the odd time!! I've heard that once they take those first few steps it's not long before they're running!! It's so cute - he stands up, stands there for a second, puts one foot out, then the other, then he speeds up a teeny tiny bit! He's definitely feeling more confident now! He's so cautious though, it's kind of funny :) His balance is so good, he stands and "dances" and reaches for things and squats, etc. He can definitely walk, but he wants to make sure it's perfect first!! At least that's what it seems like to me! Yesterday he turned 14 months old and apparently the average age for a child to walk is between 13 and 15 months, so I told my Mom he just wants to be totally "average"! Ha, ha, ha! So I just wanted to share the big walking news!!! I'm going to try and post a video of Blake walking on Facebook if I can! Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Love Tracy

YAY BLAKE!!
Are your mom and dad in for it now!! Ry has advanced to monkey, she can now get on the top of her dresser, I found her up there the other day, the little brat!! Two seconds it took her, I took her down and out to the living room and about 10 seconds later she was gone and on her dresser again, It has been a couple of days since she has performed her little stunt so maybe our talks are finally sinking in (haha) or she is just bored with it now??
Love you see you soon, Ry will be excited to see him walk she still calls him my Blake and can pick him out of pics, we were looking at his pics on facebook the other day and then I went and looked at a few of Nash and she got mad and said I want to see my Blake!!
