Silent stalker

Well, it finally happened.... Jacob decided this week that he was going to walk, all by himself. It was incredible to watch him go from his first tentative steps to steps with turns to full on walking. He still falls down, but who doesn't from time to time? He loves walking with his arms out, with his hands on his belly, carrying things, and especially naked (sorry, no pictures for you all). He gets around pretty darned quick, and he is silent. When he crawls, I can tell where he is (slapping hands on the floor is a dead give away!). But he is light on his feet. I have almost stepped on or tripped over him several times this week. One minute he's in the living room and Wham, he's under your feet in the kitchen. So, to combat this dangerous habit we have bought him squeaker shoes (yes, Sophia had those, and yes, they probably will drive everyone but us crazy, but oh well --we know where he is!!) and he wears them around the house. It helps, really it does!

VIDEO TO COME (please be patient!)
