Duuunnnhh....DUUUhhhhn....DUHNN-DUUHHHHHN!! HE WALKS!

Yes, yes, it's the big news. He's ACTUALLY toddling about. As I have been saying, all in his own good time. I think we should all just prepare ourselves for this behavior FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE. Here are some of our latest adventures.

At the playground

He loves the slide. Ambivalent to outright nervous about the swings.
And, as you can see ever so slightly in the pictures, going to the playground with the kids is, apparently, a Dad activity. Nary a fellow mom to be seen. I think that, and the camera, marked us as newbies.

And then, there was the sandbox...

The Moms and Boys went to the Woodland Park Zoo about two weeks back. The new penguin exhibit is super cool. Elijah and Zack had mixed feelings about the bubble windows, but Sam nearly jumped out of my arms to get in.
So, swings: 0,
bubble windows with penguins zooming at your head: 10.

He also continues to like the dishwasher.

We are simple, simple people. We think this is HIGH-larious. Sam has loved the feather dusters for a while, but on this night he toddled into the kitchen, with both of them, while smacking his lips (another new trick). Charlie hadn't seen the duster walk before and in the midst of his hysterical laughter, he insisted we film. Glad we did.
