Andrew is Walking...& few of his favorite things!

Andrew is officially walking now! for the last 3 weeks or so he has been standing up on his own and taking 1-2 steps, but then just this past week he took more and more and now 90% walking and every once in a while will get down and crawl. He loves to walk. You can see a sense of pride and accomplishment in his eyes when he looks at you while walking, it is the sweetest thing!! I just got some soft soled shoes for him and now he can walk anywhere. He even walked on the grass for the first time yesterday and had no trouble. When he falls, he gets right back up! He is 11 months old. Delia was walking a little steadier than he is now at this same age, but they are pretty much doing it all around the same age. so exciting. Rather than wait for Andrew's first b-day I decided just to post this little milestone and couple of his favorite things as of yet. As you can see in the picture he is holding Delia's play stethoscope, he likes to suck on the foam part. the other objects below are his favorite things, you can almost always see him with these. They are: toy car
-lego steak(one of the only legos he likes)
-DQ icecream treat
-metal keys(either these or the real things)
-ball(big and small) he looooooves to play with balls of all sizes. You will have to wait and see one of my ideas for his birthday present!

and yes, the basket lid is one of his favorite things. He likes to hold it while walking and it looks like a shield, too funny! He likes to hold things while walking. I think it gives him a sense of balance.

Missing from the picture is the Clown fish bath toy. That one in particular is the toy of choice when taking his bath. He might play a little with the others, but if you take the clown fish away, you better watch out. So fun to see his personality shining through.

He is just a little piece of Heaven and I am totally in love with this boy!!
