Alex Walking?!?!?

Tonight Alex decided that he was going to try his hand and take a few steps on his own. He's been flying around everything that he can hold on to, but tonight he was showing his daring side and took quite a few steps on his own.

This video was towards the end of his walking stint - he was getting pretty tired. But believe us, he did take quite a few steps tonight, and would stand up on his own for long periods of time......



Julie (Alex's childcare provider) is just amazed at how "advanced" he seems. She told me today that he'd be walking by his first birthday (only 2 months away!!!), and tonight, for the first time, I think that she's right!

(On a non-Alex note: Sorry the posts haven't been frequent - I am going through some health issues, and am drained by the end of the work day. They started me on some new antibiotics today, so we are hoping that they work....once I am feeling better the posts will be more frequent. Thanks for your prayers and understanding!)

Christine, we're so sorry you're feeling so badly. Hope they get things figured out soon and you start feeling better. Thanks for sharing Alex's great new adventure with us!

I hope you start to feel better, my friend

That's how it starts. By a few weeks, he should be toolin' around really well! Isn't it exciting?

Praying that you get to feeling better.
You're right, he'll be walking in a week!
