walking

Dylan,

You've started walking.

On Christmas day while we were opening gifts with all the local family in attendance you stood up and walked over to the tree. It was a nice event to share and it fit the mood of the day very well.

You did a little walking for the family up in Seattle while we visited over the next several days but you still haven't embraced it as your preferred method of locomotion.

Your buddy Dylan J. was just moved up to the "walkers" room at daycare last week, so you two won't be re-united until you prove you're steady on your feet.

I put some real shoes on your feet yesterday before we went to the park. They seemed useful for the terrain, though you did catch the rubber soles a time or two on the way down the slide.
