On our own feet

After the first really cold spell of the season, the 78 degree weather outside today felt like heaven. Playing with Julian and two of the moms and babies from the birthing group at the park was just what I needed. Baby Addie and Hollis are the cutest, most fun little kiddos. They wore Julian out. Aw, Julian's little friends. I'm so grateful to call their moms friends, too. It really makes a difference with this whole kid-raising thing. You don't feel so crazy when you can vent to other parents who are dealing with some of the same issues.

Julian is standing up on his own now. He's less and less wobbly by the day. No steps yet. As with crawling and pulling up, he's pretty proud of himself when he gets up on two feet. The better to grab at things with, he says. More babyproofing is just around the corner. We should enjoy this while it lasts...

Have a look!
