Our Little Reptevya


I read in some parenting material that early walkers (9-10 months) are usually careless and reckless, wildly attempting their new skills at risk of life and limb. Ben does NOT fit that description. He has perfected the skill of learning to walk. We're talking poster child of the year for walking done right. Am I too proud of his new trick? Maybe, but I'm also seriously baffled by how artfully he has mastered walking. One day we were forcing him to take a few steps between us, the next he was traipsing down the hall! This video takes place after about 5 days of active walking. And you'll have to forgive my singing...


What do you think of this picture? Doesn't it look like Ben is three times bigger than Sam? Or like Sam's clutching a little doughboy, trying to keep him steady. I gotta work on my photography skills.
