I am so thrilled! Seamus (my nearly 9 month old son) has been making progress all day! He stood by himself several times, and took a few shaky steps while holding the edge of my robe! And a few minutes ago, he was standing and took a half step all by himself before he fell down!

And now the fun begins. 
Babies are cool. Do you ever just bite his little nose?
I can honestly say I have never done that. But I pinch his little butt. 
Oh boy. Cranky Jr didn’t walk until he was nearly 1 1/2. And I counted myself lucky!
Well, you should try it. It’s fun. It’s like a little piece of bubblegum. And don’t forget to say “NUMNUMNUMNUMNUM!”
I think I will.
