Our Fin, walking!



Walking
Walking is such a basic concept for you and I, but the challenge it must be as a baby to learn it. I mean, you have the awkwardness of gravity pulling on you from all angles, but yet the instinct to persevere upward and forward. I have had early walkers to-date, which mean I miss the days they stayed in one spot!! Maysen took his first few steps at 9 months and was fluent in walking within a few weeks. Griffin took his first couple steps at 9mo 2wks and is taking his time at being fluent. Do you think it’s because there’s always a threat of a big brother bowling around the corner to knock him down?

Outcome of Day Out #2
Sickness prevailed against my day with Jessica for our massages. Her son, Jonas, turned out to have strep throat. Poor little guy! We all had decided to head to their house, so when we got the call that Jonas had strep throat we just had to turn around. This fall has certainly started out rough in regards to illness! Hope you feel better soon, J & M!

I just adore the video of Fin walking. It is such a special moment. Nothing better either then seeing the top of Maysen's head ad knowing he was hopefully catching Fin there.

I have to let you know that we too had an opportunity to get all our Christmas shopping done without children, great times as they are few and far between.

Take care Leslie,
We miss you here.
