    Default We Have a Walker!

    So, Patrick's walking! Not full-time...he still drops to the floor and crawls like a maniac if he feels it's taking too long to get somewhere, but he seems to prefer walking now. I think it makes him feel like a big boy. I'm so proud of him, but it's bittersweet. Rob and I have basically decided not to have anymore children. We struggled getting pregnant with the two we have and we are VERY happy with our family as it is. Patrick walking signifies the end of my babies being babies. Still, I'm very proud of my big boy.

    What a special milestone. Big decision for you guys too. I can't quite bring myself to that point yet, but all things considered I probably will soon.

    Happy Days Patrick. Those little steps are just the best.

    Those first steps are precious. I am sure he will be running before you know it though.
