Look who's walkling!

Hardin took his first real steps today! He's been taking one or two then falling for a while, but today he actually started to do it on purpose. It's worth noting that Jason started this, not me. Of course I'm excited for Hardin and his new skills, but man, what happened to my baby?

It sure is hard to take pictures because he wants to go back and forth between Jason and me as fast as he can. We're not talking a wobbly baby walk, we're talking a smidgen slower than a baby run. I don't think he realizes he's not very good at this yet. Sweet boy.

This week was weirdly busy for the second week of October, but no complaints here. That kind of busy is good. I did get slightly behind on my house work though and as I've feared since mom started watching H, she picked up my slack. Of course I LOVE her for it, especially the clean sheets and towels! But I really do try to let the fear of my sweet mama cleaning my house keep me on top of my game around here. Jason too.

Today J and I worked all around this house. I took H to the park while he mowed and did the edging. If not, Hardin just stares out the windows watching him and gets very frustrated that he can't go outside and play. Then he hung out in his swing while I cleaned out the garage and napped while J cleaned the gutters.

We ended the day at a cook out at my closer Corrie's house. H loved playing with her two sweet dogs and showing off his new walking skills! We are terrible guests right now though. First ones there, eat, out. Gotta protect that bedtime.

This picture just cracks me up. Like he's about to attack if daddy would just let him go!

And this one makes me happy. Very very happy.
