Walking!
Johnny took his first few steps while we were in Indiana during our last visit, but he hadn’t shown any signs of wanting to do it again until recently.
Over the last few days, he’s figured out how to keep his balance a little better and actually walk several steps to me, Shane or a fun item. Yay!
He’s getting braver and more daring as time goes by.
It might be awhile before he’s able to walk full-time without assistance or falling a lot. I’m not going to rush him.
Like Johnny’s great-uncle Mike told me: You spend the first two years trying to teach them how to walk and talk, and the next 16 you’re trying to get them to sit down and be quiet
.
Johnny’s two little bottom teeth are sprouting through. I don’t know how long it takes for the whole tooth to pop in, but they’re coming!
It’s just amazing that it’s only taken him 10.5 months to go from a tiny, 6-lb. blob of baby to a sturdy, blabbering, giggling playful, mobile little dude.

How exciting! It’s amazing how much little tykes learn in such a short amount of time…
I bet he’s super cute when trying to balance and walk. Hope to introduce our little ones some day soon!
Go Go Go Johnny Go! (It had to be said.)
Such an adorable blog entry, I’m so happy for you guys, and I wish Johnny the best of luck in his walking endeavors.

Oh, gosh. don’t even get me started on how fast they grow. Wasn’t Levi just born a month ago? And now he’s half-way to walking! He’s already had the stage where he grabs at the keys of the lappy and tries to eat the power cord. Sigh. I want my newborn back. But then… my newborn didn’t smile, laugh, or talk to me.
I guess I’ll keep him.
