The Big Milestone Finally Complete

At seventeen months of age, our little Ian Charles has joined the walking world. He loves walking and walking all day. He walks until he collapses on the floor, crying for us to pick him up wherever he drops. We weren't ever worried, since his big bro. waited until fifteen months to walk. We have late walkers, but they're early talkers! We think that's a pretty even trade. He follows us all over the house, and sometimes gets frustrated because he'll finally catch up to us, then we're trotting off to the other end of the house. I'm sure he'll speed up soon. He has almost mastered walking with shoes. He's still a little clumsy when he's fully dressed, but he's getting there. He can also do pretty impressive squats! I'll say, "stand up, Ian!" and up he goes as fast as his little chub body will allow. Ayden and Dakota have started making him chase them around. They say he's a baby monster. I'm trying to discourage them from calling him that, because I personally know how it feels to be a picked on younger sibling (lots of love, Chani & Travis:). It's a work in progress.
