Kevin Walks!!


I can walk!!





Kevin took his first steps yesterday - on his namesake's 75th birthday! Great timing! We were playing in a park in Vancouver, and I think Kevin was really happy about this since we have been carting him around for a week in the stroller or the backpack! He has had very little time for moving around and was starting to get fussy about it!

His first two steps were part of a clumsy tumble to the grass. Chris and I both looked at each other with surprise, and Chris said, "I think those were steps." We stood him up again, and he took a few more! In the end, the furthest he walked was 14 steps! Now, he is not very content to be held or strapped in. He wants his feet on the ground at all times, but he is still far from steady! How life is going to change soon!

Ellie was beside herself with joy - but I dont think her excited surpassed that of the previous day when she road a car ferry for the first time and slept on a "couch that turns into a bed" for the first time! Children are a constant reminder to find joy in the little things in life!

Wow, what a milestone..walking! I can't believe he'll be one very soon! Reading about Ellie and Kevin's little sibling relationship is so adorable. :)
Hope your transition into life in Dallas has been smooth.
