Ridley is walking!

We were wondering if Ridley was going to keep up with the pattern of early walking in our house.  She cut it close, but she managed to stay even with Reed.  Ridley is 11 months and walking.  She let go today and walked across the bathroom.

Look Who's Walking

Reed started walking today. It was crazy that we were able to capture the first steps. We were at the photographers getting his 11 month photos taken when the photographer asked if he was walking yet. I told her he wasn't, but he was really close. I went on to tell her that I was going out of town next week, and he would be staying with his grandparents. I was going to be so disappointed to miss those first steps.

About 5 minutes later, we changed backdrops and started taking a few more pictures. She was trying to catch him standing on his own, when he took off. Reed took about 7 steps to me, and we were both so excited. I can't believe my baby is walking, and we have the pictures to prove it. I had cards made with the "walking" pictures for the family.

Reed's 11 month photos

Reed had his 11 month photos today, and as usual he was a complete goof ball. He smiled and laughed at every tickle and fake sneeze.

11 month photos

Here are the latest pictures of Mr. Ryland. He is growing by the second. He really enjoyed this photo session, and he continued posing after the photographer had stopped. What a ham!
