Rollin' Rollin' Rollin'

Every night the three of us walk the neighborhood...it started with Eddie in the stroller, then with him walking behind and pushing the stroller, then walking with his push-walker thing....tonight, all he wanted to do was hold my hand. At one point, he let go (!!) to walk into our neighbor's front yard. While he is becoming more independent with the various walker assistants, he just hasn't gotten the confidence to just go on his own - he will still sit down if he realizes he is standing on his own and is more comfortable walking to someone when they have their arms out...put those arms by your side and he sits down. Baby steps (haha), right?
{watch out! Eddie on the loose!!} {wait, something exciting in the sidewalk crack. He stops at almost every one.} {Eddie stopped and crawled up the steps to Ethan's house...lol!!}

Success!! Our neighborhood is building a home!! When Eddie and I walk during the day he has loved seeing the guys out the working. I think he will really love to see the house being built...we can only hope that the image of progress will stir up other buyers who want to live in our awesome neighborhood. Wait...what did I say about baby steps? Hmmm.....patience is hard!
