He walks the line (not a straight line, however)!

The day has finally come when my little brother "Josh Josh", as he is now referred to, is finally walking on his own two feet. Well, mom says it walking, but it really resembles more of a drunken march in circles with occassional slips and falls. Mom and dad would tell you that they didn't really think this day would ever come. I think although they tried hard not to, they compared his development to mine and we all know that I walked at about 10 1/2 months. Josh Josh is a little older than 16 months, so in all respects it was quite a while later for him. However, now that he is walking, he wants to walk EVERYWHERE! The poor little guy has been so tired at night he can barely make it up the stairs to get to bed.

We are all very happy for this new development and I look forward to really PLAYING with him now. We went to the park today and it was a joy to see him all over the playground, chasing (stumbling after)balls and exploring everything on his own. We love to chase each other around and now that he is walking it will be even more fun!

Way to go Josh Josh! I love you little guy! See the attached pics of me and my little bro in our matching jammies, the little guy "exploring" the kitchen cabinets and lastly, Josh the carpenter. Mom says to tell you that she is aware that he doesn't have any pants on underneath that toolbelt, but it was just too cute a picture to pass up!
