That which you persist in doing...

The following videos are documentation of Mitch's progression with walking. Mitch took his first steps on Sept. 5, 2010. Over the next 5 or 6 weeks, he progressed more and more, with a great deal of coaxing by his parents. I don't know where this kid would be if we hadn't taught him to walk. He was definitely not one of those kids who figured it out on his own. Although, on Oct. 15, 2010, he was not only walking but learned, on that day, to stand up on his own too! He learned that skill all on his own.
None of these videos are more than a minute and a half. I realize that the only people interested in these videos either helped create him and/or incubated him for 9 months. We love them! We get a kick out of watching all our home movies.

A Real Boy!

October 12, 2010: Mitch became a real boy.
I was proud of Mitch for falling in the mud. I was also proud of myself for not flipping out!
