Walking FrankenBaby

Riley is officially walking! 11 months. Can you believe it!?! It's actually quite a sight to see. He holds his arms above his head, gets this crazy look on his face and makes little squeals and screams. Looks exactly how I picture a little Frankenstein baby looking. But of course in the video he doesn't really do anything that I just described. That always happens.




Before I had a child of my own I never understood why parents made such a big deal of all the "little" things their kids were doing. "He's smiling! She's walking! He's blowing kisses! She's rolling! etc." I would think, "Yeah, yeah, yeah. We can all do that stuff. Don't you have anything else to talk about?" But now having a little monster I find joy in all the little things he learns to do. It's amazing to look back on this year and think that he used to not be able to do anything but cry. And now he's feeding himself and walking. It all happened so fast! Just like everyone said it would.
