Walking with Stride Rite

We bought some walking shoes for Jonathan yesterday. He loves them! We went to Avenue Kids, and they fitted him for shoes...just like the old days. This morning he saw them and wanted to put them on..with his pajamas! (These picutures are for you, Nonna!!!)

First Steps

On Monday evening Jonathan took his first steps by himself! I was at workout so I didn't get to see his first steps, but Ryan did! I did get to see him walking when I got home! Finally after 16 mos. Jonathan is taking steps by himself! We are so thankful!!! We caught some of his walking on video. (Mrs. Patsy, Jonathan's PT, came on Monday morning to work with him. By evening, he was walking--way to go Mrs. Patsy!!!!)

Lazy Bones

I caught Jonathan relaxing in his bed after waking up after his nap yesterday. He did have his thumb in his mouth, but when we saw the camera he got excited and forgot to leave it there! Notice the feet propped up on the side of his bed--he's learning how to really relax like his daddy!

Up on the mountain...

We went to Mt. Nebo in Arkansas this past weekend. It was very, very cold and windy. Unfortunately Jonathan got a stuffy/runny nose while we were gone so he didn't sleep well during the night. He didn't seem to let that stop him from having a fun time during the day. He enjoyed being pulled around in the wagon, swinging at the playground, and crawling everywhere in the house we stayed in. We had a really nice time up on the mountain.
