Walkin' man

So, we are overdue for an update and so much changes with our little men in such a short time. Jordy took his first steps sometime around 9.5 months old. Since then he has been occasionally taking a step here and there or he'd take 3 and then drop to his knees. Still tentative about the whole idea of it...up until last week. All of a sudden on Monday he was just pushing his little car/walker around the house and he pushed it in front of him, let go and just walked away from it. The short video I've captured here is not that first time he did it, but another time he did something similar that day. He has officially decided to fully commit to walking now and he is all over the place. He does still occasionally crawl to get somewhere fast, but he's getting very confident with his steps. He can even kick a ball or block in front of him while he walks. He intentionally walks over things that throw him off balance, over and over again. I'm thinking he likes the little rush that comes with almost falling over. My little adrenaline addict...can't imagine where he gets that from. :)

Rory is loving fall and getting excited for his cousin Cadam to visit for a sleepover soon. He is loving pre-school and doing really well with writing his letters. He's even started reading a couple books to us instead of us reading to him (I think he's got them memorized rather than actually reading the words, but that is the first step). He had his second dentist appointment recently and did a great job being brave and sitting still in the chair and opening his mouth really wide. They even did his first x-rays and he only gagged a little on those crazy big films they make you hold in your mouth. You'd think they could get those a little more flexible. Getting ready for the holiday season. Hope everyone is well.
