Walking 101

We're walking! And we never stop! The boys started walking about a month ago. And those 30 days have been full speed ahead. It seems they only have two settings: "on" and "off." There is no middle speed. The "off" setting occurs when they are in their cribs, strapped into their high chairs, or when one bumps into the other (which is quite often).

My vocabulary consists of consoling and congratulating the whole day through! "You did it! Yeay!" or "I'm so proud of you!" On the other hand, I do spend a lot of time saying things like: "I'm sorry you bumped your head on brother, but I don't think he meant to plow you over" or "I know brother walked over your back and head, but I'm not sure he knew you were sitting there." It seems our day is a series of near misses and collisions. :)

I stopped following them around long ago. Because inevitably they always go in the opposite directions. You can see from the photos below that they circle the house through the kitchen. Usually running into each other around corners.
