He Walks!

Badness has been climbing stairs and cruising around the furniture for months now, but last night he let go and took more than the tentative two or three steps he'd been doing.....he walked halfway across the living-room into my arms! Mommies lock up your daughters....there is nowhere left to hide!

And talks!

This morning he said his first word! Banana! Well, 'nana! 'nana! As I was holding one at the time and he was gesturing wildly for me to 'just give me the banana already woman!' I have chosen to view it as a real word and not a coincidence. The Princess maintains that he said "chair" a few weeks ago, but I have invoked my power as mommy and keeper of the baby books and declared that unless I see and hear it, it doesn't count.

I apologize for the excess of exclamation points in this post, but I am Just! So! Proud! and scared....but we'll save that for another post.
