Heeeeeee's walking!

I think I can say that today is officially the first day that walking is Tommy's primary mode of transportation. He has been walking here and there for a while. He is different than the other kids. They were always able to walk but too afraid to try. Tommy is fearless but didn't quite have the coordination. Considering how tricky crawling was for him he really has this whole walking thing nailed early! Here are a couple of action shots!

I have no idea how this ended up on this blog! It was supposed to be on mine! I even went to my bookmark and went into my blog. I had to sign out as Maizy and somehow this is the one that came up when I signed in. I guess I will leave it here but just paste it onto my blog....weird! I went to view post and it took me a minute to realize this wasn't my blog! Crazy....
