Last seen stumbling around our house, Obie is now a pro walker. He walks around all day, prefers it by far to crawling, and is getting faster every week. Here we are walking along English Bay with Des and Joe who came to visit for the weekend.
In addition to motoring around the house, Obie is learning a few letters. We put up these alphabet cards on his door -- his favorite letters are: A, D (for dog), I, M, X, and of course O & B.
Bad mama. Prioritized capturing Obie's first steps on video over his safety. :)
We realized some time back that it would be nice to have some recollection of the the good ol' days when Obie was just starting to talk. So a couple of weeks back we tried to make a list of the words in his arsenal. They have grown exponentially now, but best to archive...you will see that animals are front and center.
