First Steps!

Grandma reported a couple steps last week, but of course we couldn't spread the word until we saw for ourselves. Brock is STEPPING (not really walking)! This weekend he took a number of steps from my arms to Cory's. He was just doing a couple at a time and then yesterday he broke his own record...taking about 5 steps. To be honest, he doesn't seem to be that interested in walking. He is REALLY good at crawling and so his first reaction when we let go of him is to squat and then crawl. But he is definately considering walking, at least when he is encouraged!

We also had a fun weekend visiting family and friends. We went to my second cousin's First Birthday party - she is already an expert walker! And we visited my best friend from college Michelle, her boyfriend Dave, and her new family member Roxy. My heart just ached when I met Roxy - as you can see she looks exactly like our dog Rowdy and she acts just like he did in his youth. She is just the sweetest dog. We finally got her to leave Brock alone (she wanted to lick him), but as soon as she did, Brock had to crawl over and put his hand right in her mouth for more licks. So cute! We still think of Rowdy and how we wish he could have met Brock.
