The Walkabout

Holy Mobility Batman! No joke -- Toby is off and "running". While it isn't pretty, (drunken sailor anyone?) he's now walking more than crawling for sure... it's not even close! We managed to get a shot of him cruising across the house yesterday and thought we'd post it online for giggles.

Last night was an interesting night as well -- Toby went to bed at 7:15pm after entertaining some neighbors then crashed out. He cried really hard at 5am but we were determined to let him work it out on his own again. Our efforts to stay in bed were rewarded because he passed out and slept until 7:15!

PS
Since everyone knows the first rule of "Sleep Club" is "Don't talk about Sleep Club" we're probably screwed tonight.

Toby at the office!

He just seemed to be having so much fun sitting at my desk, I had to take some pics.

Face shot...

Of course, right after I posted our last update (literally within 10min) Toby took a header and landed face first on our wooden coffee table/chest that we have in the family room. Cut the inside of his mouth rather nicely unfortunately. Within 15min he was his old self again (thankfully).

We might need to get him a helmet and mouth guard and let him run wild! Or just replace all our furniture with bean-bag chairs...

13 Months

Holy cow! I thought 1 year was a big milestone but I had no idea how much Toby would figure out in 4 weeks. On top of adding new words (box, Addie, fish, hi, bye, D'oh, and last but not least NO), new signs (please, more, all done) he's starting to walk. Not very far mind you, but just far enough to make us hold our collective breath that he doesn't take a header into a door jam and scare himself out of figuring out how to walk. Amy shot a quick video today of Tobes teetering out around the corner on his own. Enjoy!
