A big milestone arrived at our house this week. My baby can walk! Drake started taking a step or two last week, and then over the last 7 days he just decided to go for it and make it happen. Being stubborn and feisty has served him well in this latest challenge. He has fallen down and bumped his head on the floor (and nearly everything else) more times than I can count this past week, and with hardly any tears. He is so focused on getting back up on two feet and moving forward it seems he doesn't want to take time out to cry and get upset over a fall :)
Have I mentioned he's feisty?! He may not cry or get upset when he falls but if he doesn't get what he wants any other time of the day he is quick to show how he feels about it. I find myself saying "gentle touches" about 25 times a day because his favorite way to show his displeasure is to take a swipe at your face with his nose all wrinkled up.
