And we're walking!

Jack is finally walking!  He's been able to for awhile, but you could never make him do it.  It's always had to be on his own terms, he's very stubborn like his parents :)  Something must have clicked with him this past weekend though. He finally stood up, and walked to go pick up his ball, or his truck.  Eddie and I just gawked at him the first few times he did it, I think we hadn't realized yet the full implications of his walking at that point.  It is just amazing, as a mom, to see your son learning something new everyday.  Jack's been utilizing the sign language we taught him regularly now, and if he's done eating he tells me that he is "all done."  With the increased mobility has come the realization that he can climb onto pretty much anything.  I have a feeling a rearrangement of our living room furniture is in order.  I've been pretty allowing of Jack's adventurous climbing, while Eddie tends to be a bit more paranoid.  It's understandable, he doesn't want Jack to get hurt, or the furniture to get ruined.  I was getting dinner ready tonight, and from the kitchen I hear Jack talking to someone.  When I got to the living room, I found that he had climbed up onto the ottoman that was pushed against the wall, and from there gotten onto the second shelf on the wall.  He was talking to a picture of me and Eddie.  The kid is fearless.  I guess I allow it in the hopes that it is helping him learn and grow.  We shall see, I'm sure it will bite me in the butt one of these days.
