Walking...

This is just a quick update.... John took a few steps last week. 5 steps to be exact! He was soo proud. He'd take a few steps; stop; laugh; clap his hands; take some more steps. (Actually I'm not sure who was more excited, John or Benji!) He's been walking along furniture for quite awhile, and would walk for hours if you hold his hand. So far he hasn't done too much more, just a few steps at a time. He'll turn one on Sept 14, so he's taken his 1st steps the earliest of all 4 kids so far. Benji & Carolyn took their 1st steps exactly 2 weeks before their birthday, and Katie was 2 weeks after her birthday!

It will be exciting to have him walking, yet its another step away from the "baby stage" With conventions around the corner it will be very nice to have him walking around to burn off the extra energy.

I haven't been able to catch a picture of him walking, but hopefully we'll add some with his 1st birthday update!

That is great! How have you guys been? Nothing new and exciting here in Iowa except we are getting ready for conventions. Emily B.
