Sunday Evening

Walker likes anything that plays music or lights up or makes noise. Preferably, he'd like each toy to have all three capabilities.

His little personality is starting to emerge. We've noticed that if we take something away from him that he would like to continue playing with (like a baby food spoon) he will get very, very mad. He'll cry like he's been hurt. But as soon as you give it back to him, he's content again. I see how this might be a problem when he starts moving around and getting into his sister's toys...

Walker is really starting to use his hands to grab for things. It used to be that if something was near him that he'd find it and put it in his mouth. Now he's lifting up his arms and hands and reaching for toys and things that interest him. I think he's also noticed that he has hands. He's always liked to put his hands in his mouth, but lately he's been extending a little outstretched arm and twisting his hand around and around while staring at it. Hmm. I think he's figured out that his hands are part of his body!

The flash kept taking Walker by surprise. If you can envision arms flapping and feet kicking, then you can imagine what he was doing when I snapped this picture of him.

And apparently, one is never too old (or too big) for the Exersaucer.

Goodnight, kiddos! Love you both very much!
