Default Nate is walking!

When I said it would be this summer, I didn't think it would be now. He still prefers his method of scooting around but will let go and walk if we ask. When he was 5 months old, we were having trouble getting him to tolerate being his stomach and then when he wasn't rolling over when he was a year-old and yada yada yada-I just honestly never thought we would get here. If you care to see a 2 year-old drunkenly walk -and his brother desperate for attention: http://tosertater.blogspot.com/2009/...joiced_24.html

Yeah Nate!!! I love it!!! It is so cool when you just see them take off like that. We keep thinking Luke is going to walk anytime now, and it is so fun to see that is exactly what Nate did. He looks like he is doing great. Your boys are such cuties!
