Quite a FEET! he he he

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, you heard it here first… Ayden can WALK!  Well, for as much as 7 or 8 feet before collapsing to the ground or into our laps.  On Saturday evening, Patrick and I were sitting apart but facing one another when Ayden simply decided not to drop to the floor to crawl, but rather saunter over to me!!!  Patrick and I couldn’t believe what we saw, so we made him do it over and over again.  After three or four times however, he required a favorite snack as motivation.  So we passed his beloved snack back and forth between us, forcing our child to walk to receive his prize!  I know, cruel and unusual punishment…  He hasn’t done much walking since, except for a single performance for Auntie Heather and Uncle Barney yesterday morning.  Ayden was VERY proud of himself… and very happy about the fuss we made of him.  So that’s the second huge milestone reached in the past couple of weeks (see the "He Speaks?" blog entry before this one).  He’s a busy boy these days.  So much to learn, so little time!
