These legs are made for walking!

Yeppers thats right! Alistair is actually putting one foot in front of the other. It started about three weeks ago and now on a good day I can get him to walk with me in this manner for about 25 feet! But generally its about 10 feet. I'm just so proud of him. We are really making a big effort to have him sitting or standing for a significant part of the day rather than being flat on his back and I think its starting to pay off. Today I actually had him sit on my knee while I bounced him a long and he seemed to enjoy it. This is huge as it takes a lot of strength for him to be able to accomplish that. Thats the wonderful thing about all this increasing core strength is he is able to get more out of life. If he could get to the point of understand and utilizing a walker that would just be dreamy. I'm not sure if thats a reality or not but we just keep pushing our little man and waiting to see what he surprises us with. The one thing I'm becoming more and more aware of as the prego weeks click on by is that I'm really going to need to get back in shape and work on strength exercises once this bambino comes along. This is not for me but for the reality that I need to get stronger in order to work and handle Alistair as he's suddenly not our little baby any longer. I know he's 33 months now. However, he's only 22 lbs and his development has been slow so we still hold and care for him alot like an infant would be until lately. Its been obvious to us in the last few months that he has had a significant growth spurts and an increase in strength so we'll just need to step it up a notch.
