Walking!

It is official Ian is now walking at 10 months and 1 week old!

He had his nine month check up at 10 months (yes we were a little behind) he is...
nearly 29.6 inches long 86th percentile
19.9 lbs 76th percentile
with all of the food that he eats he has only put on 0.3 lbs since he was 6 months??? I was a little concerned but he eats a ton - when I make him a plate of food there is no point in using a baby plate you might as well just use a regular plate.The doctor was not concerned when he heard he had just started walking and was an extreme wiggle worm while we were there.

This first video is of Ian last week. He loves his walker and at this time couldn't figure out how to turn it. Now he picks it up while balancing and turns it himself. The second clip in the video is of his first few steps. We thought after his first few steps it wouldn't be long until he figured it out and sure enough the next day he was walking from object to object in various rooms. The third part of the video shows Ian's favorite thing to do -we think it is hilarious but maybe we shouldn't. If you listen between the drooling and grunting you can hear him giggle the best he can we his mouth completely full.


The final video is of Ian walking. He is getting better and better everyday. He even can avoid the dog -and from previous movies you can imagine the obstacle that Pike is when videotaping. He even now stops and stands in the middle of the floor changes directions and then is off. However if you have food there is no question he is coming for you!
