Walking and a Wedding








This week was very exciting. Early on in the week, Aidan started really walking! On Tuesday he realized that he could do it and was able to take 6 steps in a row. On Wednesday, he took 10 steps in a row. And by the weekend, he could toddle across whole rooms, stop and stand to rest, turn 90 degrees, and even run a little bit! It is absolutely amazing! On Tuesday he was very serious about it, while he was figuring things out. But on Wednesday, he smiled ecstatically as he toddled - so excited and proud of himself! He is already getting so good that the excitement is going down (he can now even do bent-leg walking instead of the straight-leg walking that he started out with) but he still has bursts of proud smiles as he walks to Mommy and Daddy. We are so thrilled for him!

This weekend, we all flew to California to celebrate Abbi's Aunt Beth getting married, and that was wonderful. Beth was beautiful, the ceremony and reception were lovely, and Mommy and Daddy loved being able to show off Aidan to Grandma and Grandpa Ross, Aunt Frances, Uncle Jon-Michael, and the rest of Mommy's family. It was so nice to have such a wonderful excuse to see everyone!
