feeding the duckies

Nathan took his first step on his own on his Daddy’s birthday (July 4th), just shy of his 8 month birthday.  He’s really trying hard to walk on his own, and being more daring about taking steps alone.  He walks pretty well just holding on to a finger or pant leg, and is now putting a couple steps together by himself before falling into our outstretched arms. What a champ! (Although he’s got the bumps and bruises that come along with learning how to walk!) He has been saying “Da Da” for a couple weeks now, and just in the past week he’s been saying “Ma Ma”. The other day we were in the kitchen and heard “Mama” clear as a bell from the playroom. We both looked at each other, and thought for sure it was Annalise or Sean, but they were right next to us and Nate was the only one in the playroom. He’s growing up so fast!
