even though he is my second child, it still amazes me to see the walking stages and how fast it goes! the week before his birthday he was at 1-3 steps, then the next week it was 5-6 steps but when he fell down he just crawled, then the next week it was more steps and then he'd fall down, he'd just stand back up and keep going and now he is all over the place, hardly falls down, can turn and keep going, can bend down to pick things up and stand back up and keep going! I mean, I know this is old news to most, but it still is really damn awesome (to me)!
Re: and Riley is all but running now!
That's awesome Heather. Go Riley! And I agree it is amazing how fast they get and how overnight they can become so coordinated. I remember thinking with Owen that "wow, it takes a lot of muscle and eye coordination to stop and pick something up from the floor"
Now he is getting really close to jumping and getting both feet off the floor. We got totally excited last night watching him try. He's so close...It's this stuff that makes the 12 months + age so fun I think.
Yay Riley! I know, it seems like things happen so much faster with #2!
