Happenings

So, it's been more than a month since this happened, but Ben walks now. He took his first steps while Jason was away for the weekend, which Jason felt bad about. I wasn't even trying to get Ben to walk. I just set him down on his feet in the play room and he walked about 10 steps to the toy he wanted. He hadn't even walked 2 steps by himself before. I pulled out the video camera and managed to get his second steps on camera. He walks everywhere now. Occasionally he'll drop down and crawl, but his default is walking. Now we just need to teach him to go down stairs so we can get rid of our baby gate :).

Jason spends at least one day a week at the local children's museum. The kids always seem excited to go. It has been money well spent for a membership and I think we'll renew this year.
