David has started to take his first steps this week. He doesn't set out on his own, but with a little prompting he has started to take a few steps at a time. Enjoy the videos!
Hi Heather, reading your thoughts on David and his sleeping or lack of sleeping through the night. I remember when we were in an apartment and Grandpa was working away from home, only home two days every two weeks so it was the three kids and myself in one bedroom. Cynthia was newborn and I remember jumping out of bed and bouncing her with my hand on her back to get her back to sleep so as not to wake up Greg and Sandra. I can also remember laying on the couch in the day so tired and my eyes closed and your mom came over and lifted my eyelid to see if I was still there... :) Oh the joy of those first few years. Don't beat yourself up, just do as you feel is right and know it is! No body is perfect and you can't make the same thing work for every child! I never did believe in those "go by the book" things either. And wonder how many doctors stay at home taking care of the baby ???? Love you. gm

Wow!! Watch out world! What an early walker! Gibson is not that motivated, which is fine with me!
I can't believe he's already starting to walk! Watch out soon he'll be running! We have a monkey at our house. Addison is now a climber. AHHHH!!!
