Walk This Way

That's right -- Clark's walking!

He took his first steps on May 22nd going back and forth between mom and dad (again and again and again)! We will now find him up and about and willing to try walking on his own without mom or dad. If he wants to get somewhere fast though crawling or reaching for mom or dad's hand is still the better option.

His favorite walking activity is taking mom's finger than leading her to the kitchen door (which he can open since it doesn't quite latch), pointing to the entry door -- which when opened than heads toward the screen door and then we are OUTSIDE! He has had to work on first we need shoes -- now putting on shoes means OUTSIDE! We also have worked on putting sun screen on before we go out -- amazingly he laughs when you spray the sunscreen on -- I'll take that over the other option!

Once outside we go and visit Indy so he can come walk with us, then we're off. Clark really likes heading to the driveway where we spend a lot of time looking at and picking up rocks. He also likes to try to pet the duck (which means chasing the duck around the yard) and laughing at the goose (somehow not scared of the goose but also not willing to try to pet the goose).

Recently due to all of the rain we haven't been able to go out as often as Clark would like -- so, we are working on perfecting our run (holding mom's hand) around the house.
