oops! somehow i haven't blogged in a while. it might be because my child has grown leaps and bounds and i cannot keep up. for starters...he's walking! walking, like non-babies do.
he started walking just after easter. one day he was scared and the next he was wandering around like he'd always known what to do. he uses his arms for balance which makes everything he does on two feet look even cuter. it took him a few days to understand the magnitude of his new skill, but now he walks and crawls about evenly. and now that he knows we're excited about it, he claps for himself all of the time. about walking and just about everything else. crawls quickly? claps. laughs with his head tipped back? claps. drinks milk? claps. it's hilarious. also hilarious? how fancy and dancy he looks in the above final shot - flashdance!
click on that one to see the fall ;) he gets going really fast and if his socks don't have grips he wipes out. it's scary but par for the course, i guess.
these are the only pictures i have of him walking, too. i haven't brought my camera outside and there just isn't room or time to set up a walking shot before he reaches me.
and not to finish all sappy, but him walking is just another thing that solidifies his toddler hood. his leg muscles are changing already. he chases me and gets chased, on two feet. he wants to get down, to see and wander. my baby is turning into a boy.

Way to go, Finn!! I love that you captured the Flashdance walking phase. :) And I'm SO with you on the transition to toddlerhood... It's so amazing and wonderful to see them grow, but the walking milestone really ushers in the end of an era...
How adorable! It does look like he's dancing :)
