A good day...

Reilly can walk!! It is something that has been a work in progress the past few days, but he can officially take a few steps before falling down. All he needs now is confidence. That little guy will walk all over if he can. I think the most consecutive steps he has taken before hitting the floor is five. Woohoo!!! Now if he would just say something!

I am working with him each day to just form his mouth into some kind of sound. I sit there and mouth "ma ma ma ma" until I'm tired of the sound. All he does is laugh and laugh. I'm not sure what is so funny about this sound, but it sure entertains him.

Braedon had a wonderful day in preschool. He loves going to both of his schools and knows the routine at each. I have noticed that when he gets home he tends to withdraw a little. I think some of that is because Reilly is asserting himself more and able to move around better. Braedon likes to lay on the tile in the kitchen and play with his trains and cars. I'm working of having Reilly do some play next to him. I guess we will wait and see.

Tonight Braedon went with his dad home teaching and after decided he wanted to go for a walk. In the cold rain. Dean headed outside in the dark and Braedon took off down the street. He walked straight to his uncle Daniel's house. Dean's brother lives down the street from us. Braedon walked up to his door and knocked and waited for Daniel to open up. Once he did, Braedon walked right into his kitchen and took a Starburst. Braedon loves chewy candy and his Uncle Daniel always has a small bowl in his kitchen of candy. Once Braedon got the treasure he was seeking he was ready to head back home. When he and Dean walked in the front door, Braedon looked at me and smiled. He knew what and where he was going all along. He is my cleaver little man.
