Walkies!!! Finally!!!



Luke is 13 months and one week old. The last few days he finally is excited about walking. We are going to say goodbye to his adorable crawl that has gotten him so much attention. I still will remind him to walk every now and then, and he act like "oh yea", and stands up and starts to walk. He is so stable. He just walks. I saw him try to run today too, so it's only a matter of time. I'm excited that he is a big boy now. I feel like an adventure is ahead with this little boy who is suddenly so opinionated, and head strong. He lets out a high pitched scream the very second things don't go his way, which is 1,000 times a day. I'm trying not to be fearful about his toddler years. I'm going in like a pro, very seasoned. I'm sure he will throw some curve balls. I'm mentally gearing up for some crazy years. I really want to enjoy the journey!!! I'm really enjoying the kids right now. Lindsay and Jacob are both in good stages where I feel like I'm developing a good, fun relationship with them. I love being their Mom.

Good job, Luke!! The baby stage is all over now...I'm sure you'll miss it, but I have loved Meredith since she turned into a toddler. Such fun times! Our little one throw tantrums, too. Who doesn't, right? :) We're working on it, though, and luckily it isn't too bad!!! PHEW!

The good, the bad and the ugly!
Good: Don't have to carry him.!
Bad: He can disappear quicker!
Ugly: The extra bruises acquired!
For a mom it's all about lovin'.

Beth, you are such a good mother. I admire your optimism. I have one that is very independant and headstrong too!

I'm not sure when I'll get used to seeing it!

My girls think it is earth shattering that he walks :-)

Okay, Robert is retarded. I don't think he is going to call Dane, so if you haven't already told him...please feel free. As for getting together, we would seriously love to see you guys! The holidays may be a bit crazy, but we aren't going anywhere until December 26th. So maybe? If not...January??????
