Walking Wonder

We're about to enter a whole new world with our little walking wonder.  Alekzander took his first step/shuffle over two months ago (10/10/10), and has been slowly and steadily putting together more and more steps.  He was stuck at three steps for the last few weeks, but today, after playing with his older neighbor friends for two afternoons in a row, took six steps ...several times unassisted!  He has a sturdy little base and can squat down to pick up a toy (and stand back up) without losing his balance.  He flies when he's behind his walking/push toys and has even started moving backwards dragging the toy (or full-sized chairs) behind/in front of him.  Crawling is still the surest and quickest way to travel, but Alekzander has found his legs and some confidence, too!  He has also developed an adorable passion for books. Animal books are his favorite; he can identify lions, tigers, ducks, cats, dogs, and fish with their respective noises.  He loves playing peek-a-boo, throwing a ball, and dancing to music. We are so proud of our sweet, handsome little man!
