Taking A Stand


This little bundle of cuteness

fresh from the bath here 
is smiling because he did something momentous 
earlier in the evening.

Coaxed by his brother

who was using a car as incentive, 
don't vehicles always motivate men

Little Bear stood on his own.

He reached for the prize

and stood

car in hand!

It is so funny because he started crawling a 6 months and cruising at 6 and a half so I thought for sure he would be walking early. 
I am not complaining. 
He is almost a year old. 
Mister Luke walked at 14 months. I though something was wrong and that he would never walk.
Then Jackie Boy walked at 10 months. I wanted him to go back to crawling.
Toots walked at a year. 
Little Bear will walk in his own sweet time.

But from the looks of tonight...

it is probably not that long off.

Sweet picture sequence. With big brothers to chase I'm sure he's going to be on the move in no time.

Love this...cars are definitely good motivators for men! HA!

Yes, I too have learned after 2 babies that they all learn to walk in their own sweet time. In fact, my pediatrician told me that walking is "preprogrammed" in utero; and while there are definitely things that a parent could do that would hamper gross-motor development, much that we do stimulates brain, eye and hand development, but doesn't really speed up the walking timetable. I found that fascinating.

Mary Catherine was on the long end...about 14 months...I thought I would carry her to kindergarten! Benjamin was right at a year.

Who knows with Baby #3...I'm just gonna go with the flow!

XOXO,
Val

I love that big brother is the one who encouraged him to stand up. Both boys are just too sweet.

I remember this moment in JDaniel's life. It was like watching the astronaunts walk on the moon.
