A Few More Firsts

Benjamin has had quite an eventful few days.

This past Friday, he had his one year doctor's appointment. He now weighs 23 lbs., 14 oz. and is 30 inches tall. His head continues to be in the 90th percentile :-) He got lots of shots and even had blood drawn, but he rallied like a champ and had a great weekend with his Grandpa Jim, Grandma Rhonda, Aunts Ali and Marissa, and little cousin TJ (pictures to follow).

We have previously reported that he was close to walking and his birthday present from Aunt Ali seemed to push him over the edge. It was pretty clear that Benjamin was ready to walk, he just didn't yet have the confidence to do so. Focusing on the basketball distracted him to take a few steps on Sunday afternoon and since then, he's been getting more and more bold! The video below is a compilation of Benjamin's steps from Sunday and Monday.

Walking (Sort Of)

So Benjamin pretty much went from zero to sixty in the last 36 hours. He went from taking a few steps while holding our hands to walking across the house with the use of his little walking toy. Chrissie's predicting full-on walking by the time we're back from Mexico next week. Check out the video below.

In other news, today was Chrissie's last day of work! We leave Friday for Mexico, return Wednesday. She will start her new job at FDA on Monday the 12th.

Stay tuned for super cute pics of Benji at the beach!
