Wow you sure didn’t wait long to start walking! What a smart boy you are! Your first steps happened many times for lots of people (me and probably 6 other people all claimed to see the magic moment first)… so I think it’s fair to say you took your first step towards the middle of May 2010. By the time June came around, it was like you instantly mastered the ability to run, climb, AND manage to chase the cat around! Exciting!

June 13, 2010 you turned 10 months old - and wow, this was a great month for you as far as growth spurts go. By the end of June, you climbed an entire set of stairs (24 steps) all by yourself without any assistance at all. And you have continued to do this ever since. You run so fast sometimes it’s hard to keep up with you, but it’s one of the qualities I love about you. You are a ball of energy that’s for sure. You love to open all the cabinets in the kitchen and pull out the pots and pans and leave them on the floor… or you’ll open a drawer and pull everything out, one at a time, and once it’s on the floor, you’ll walk away and stop playing with it. It’s almost as if you find it more entertaining to pull out an item simply to drop it rather than to pick it up again and play with it. Silly boy.
