We have been staying at the Denison’s house while our house is being painted. While we have been here, Scout has learned two great things! First of all, he has learned how to go down the stairs properly. His M. O. up until now has been to crawl to the top, turn around, and barely sit on the edge with his arms reached forward. I am amazed he hasn’t taken a huge spill yet. But now that he knows how to do it correctly, hopefully that will never be the case.

His second feat…. he has taken about four steps on his own! I have been putting this off like crazy, because unlike other moms, I am not counting down the days until Scout can walk. I am all for the crawling - even if it is a crazy gimp crawl! I figure, even thought he is a really fast crawler, it is still slower than walking. But….looks like the inevitable is becoming a reality!

Update***I would officially call Scout a “walker” starting at 14 months.  Micah thought he was a slow learner….I am pretty convinced he could have walked all along, but just wanted to be waited on hand and foot.  If i could get away with crawling…I would!
