Walking and Bathtime

Jude has been walking around furniture since he was about 9 months old. Our pediatrician told us that he would be walking around the 1 year mark. Guess what - Jude's birthday is less than 10 days away and he has been taking off (unsolicited) and taking steps here and there for the past couple of days. These steps usually maxed out at about three. Today Jude became a brave little boy and he let go of the couch and just kept going. He made it AT LEAST 11 steps all by himself! He practiced this new trick repeatedly. He did fall down every time (usually forward) but he caught himself. He was so excited about his new trick that he would just look up, smile, and squeal.

On a slightly different note, Jude makes me laugh because he gets so upset when he has to get OUT of the tub. I even let all of the water out today (after he played for about 30 minutes) and he was still giggling and crawling around in the tub. Well, I only laugh until his little cry turns into a meltdown. :)
