Our Beginner Walker

Liam can walk!  No, it is still not his preferred method of getting around (that would be crawling), but if he wants something and is within a 10 step range of it, he will walk to it.  As I mentioned, he started taking steps a few weeks ago, but the walking really picked up this week.  He is becoming much more steady and can take about 8-10 steps before falling.  They told us at school that once he started in the one's room it probably wouldn't be long before he started walking and it looks like they were dead on.  We go to the beach the end of July and I'm now VERY hopeful that he will be full on walking by then.  For some reason I think that Liam will enjoy the sand 10 times more if he is walking rather than crawling.  He is not crazy about anything textured so I just know that sand is going to weird him out at first.

Here are 2 little clips of us attempting to get his newfound walking on tape.  Of course the second we turn on the camera, he decides to cut way back on his walking skills, but at least you get a little bit of an idea....
