ANDY IS WALKING!

Andy took 4 steps to me just now - yayyyyyyy!!!!!!

Almost walking!

Andy now walks when only holding one of our hands! And he can stand on bis own for a few seconds too! It won't be long before he is walking on his own!

Speedy little boy!

Andy is soooooooooo quick with his crawling and cruising! He can pull himself up on anything (and I mean anything), and he can get across the room and up the 4 stairs from the play room to the kitchen in about 3 seconds. I have to watch him all the time – every second!

Sheesh!

OK, Andy is already better at cruising. He can now walk around by holding onto furniture, and he can go from one piece of furniture to another as long as they are close enough together. Sheesh! He is going to be walking on his own so soon! And he is only 8 months old!

My baby is getting bigger!

I heard Andy coughing at 6:30 and then it got eerily silent, so I quietly opened his door, but he saw me. I went back to bed, but he was calling out for over 5 minutes, so I went back in to get him. I opened the door and found Andy standing up in his crib and shouting. It was as if to say “Hey! I’m awake! Come get me Mama!” He is so cute!

And man Andy wants to walk! He can pull himself up on anything – furniture or people (that happened in the last week or so), and now he does it ALL the time. And he tries to go from one object to another. That and the fact that he can walk good while holding your fingers (I mean REALLY good), makes us think that he’ll really be walking pretty soon.
