Evolution

Today Colton is 11 months old. It is hard to believe that in just 1 month he'll be a one-year-old!!! It's amazing how much changes in the 1st 12 months of life. What a miracle that babies go from doing nothing...not even being able to focus their eyes...to becoming little people in such a short amount of time.
This week Colton learned another new thing - it happens often now, it seems. Using the laundry basket, Colton learned to walk! Though he's still not walking on his own, these first steps toward that milestone were a big deal to us.


After playing with the laundry basket for awhile, we called GiGi to ask her if Colton could open one of her birthday presents to him a little early. It's a big Tonka truck that you can use as a walker! Colton has loved every second with it - he plays with it constantly!

Over the past two days, Colton has improved greatly in his walking skills. We'll try to get a good video of him using the truck/walker now and update the blog soon with that.

Oh, WOW! He's getting the hang of it soooo well. I love seeing it and watching him think it out. His mind is working with his little body. You can almost hear him thinking he's working so hard! So glad he loves it!

Watched it again and heard his little feet pitterpattering on the floor.....soooooo sweet! Then at the end, he ALMOST let go of the truck to WALK to the coffee table! It won't be long now!
