Look who’s talking, um, I mean walking.

February 2, 2011/Ryan

We interrupt this week of reflection to bring you a very important service announcement: On the eve of his second birthday, the boy is walking.

Ryan’s taken a few steps here and there, but nothing to write home about… until Monday. He started walking between Natalie and I thinking it was a game. By Tuesday, he progressed to walking on command while holding onto the couch. Yeah, Ryan!
