Theo's First Walking!

So Theo's been able to stand since at least June and he's been taking steps with two hands to hold for almost as long. He eventually progressed to needing just one hand, and then for the past month or so he's been willing to walk about 3-5 feet between two people sitting on the floor waiting to catch him. But today at 5pm he decided that he'd had enough practice, and walked across the nursery. Mom opened the doors, and off he went! Some videos for your pleasure; the long one gets a bit dull in the middle but has a wonderful point-of-view shot at the end of Theo going all over the house!

Theo's Recent Activities

Beacon Hill Harvest Festival



Amelie's First Birthday Party



Northwest Chocolate Festival

I also uploaded a couple of videos of the pumpkin carving which had gotten misplaced previously.

And finally a video taken just a few hours ago of Theo eating blueberries. He signs he's done a couple of times, but as you can tell, he's not!

Pumpkin Carving with Theo

As it turns out, Theo had no interest in participating in anything related to the pumpkins, until they were fully scooped out and ready to play with. This was surprising to both of us, as we thought Theo would just love to stick his hands into the goopy pumpkin guts. See the photos.

Happy Halloween!

Theo went trick or treating at my office yesterday afternoon, and had a blast! He outlasted several other kids, and loved walking around and, once he got the idea, putting candy in his basket. See all the photos, and prepare yourself for an onslaught of Halloween-related photosets coming soon.
