What a big boy.

Dean's birthday's coming up in the next few weeks. It's really hard to believe it's almost been a year!!

These pictures kind of sum up what he's been up to recently. The video isn't spectacular (only a few seconds long), but it's the best I have of him walking thus far. Just in the last two days he's really ramped it up. He still only walks about 4 or 5 steps in a row, but at least I'll call it walking now. If he wants to get somewhere fast, he crawls or uses anything mobile as a walker (his high chair, a stool, his walker, etc.). When we're outside on the sidewalk, he does a one foot standing, one knee crawling thing. It's pretty funny except when he loses his balance and smacks his head on the pavement leaving a nice scraped up bruise...poor kid. It's a hard knock life.
