The Walker

I would call Noah an official walker now. He still crawls a fair amount, but he will also walk without coaxing. He isn't great at it yet, but he's getting there. The day is soon coming (maybe even today) when I take him out in the afternoon for a time-killer and I let him slowly walk around a store. He even will pull his hand away when you try to hold his to help his balance. He seems motivated to get it now.

He still doesn't talk intelligibly yet. He does a lot of pointing and makes a lot of spirited sounds, but he doesn't really say words. If you guess what he wants he will smile and thrash his legs and hands around for joy though.

Yesterday was gorgeous in the afternoon and Lily took advantage of it by playing with her friends. It's always nice when Noah's nap time turns into real quiet time at our house. It certainly helps with my studies.
