It amazes me how long it took him to walk, and yet how quickly it has taken him to become good at it. We went to the playground for the first time today (I will have to get a video of that some other time) and he was walking everywhere. He really loved climbing on everything.

Alex loves sitting on my lap with a good book. I hope he loves to read. I see so many boys that don't, but it is so important, and it is something that I love so much. I have read to him and had him looking at books since he was weeks old, so hopefully it will pay off:)

And he has officially begun walking. In the past week Alex not only began making, but can now do it rather skillfully. We just took a walk outside, and with the aid of my hand he was able to walk up our front porch stairs. He falls maybe four times a day, which is really not bad at all. Alex is so cute walking, well so cute doing everything really:)

Whee

Babies can be so easily amused. Thank goodness.
