On the Verge

Look closely...those hands are not toughing the wall! While it's only a few free wheeling steps, it's definitely a sign of more to come.

Here are a few more fun anecdotes...

About a week ago, Chris was in the kitchen with the little guy. Parker was in the corner going through "his cabinet", which contains all the plasticware; while Chris was in the fridge. Of course, when Chris was done he closed the fridge door, surprisinng Parker -- as the little guy had made his way from the cabinet to the fridge and was using the door for support. With the door now closed, Parker was left standing solo. I'm not sure who was more shocked -- Chris or Parker. Luckily, before he could panic and fall, Parker grabbed on to the closest support, Chris.

Today, when I picked up Parker from daycare, I was surprised to see him stand on his own and take a few unsupported steps. Then, seeing his buddy Weston sitting on a scooter, he went over and starting pushing him across the room. That blew me away. What a powerhouse!
