Brady is quite a pro at walking and running now so it seems so strange to think back to the fall of last year when we never thought he was going to get over the "knee walking". For the longest time, he figured out that he could get places pretty quickly and didn't have to deal with the potential of falling by just walking on his knees. It was pretty funny. Thankfully though he gradually started showing interest in standing and took some steps while holding onto things in October (14 months old) and then on Wednesday night October 23rd after work, he decided to take the plunge and walk across the room without holding on to anything. It was amazing. We were both so excited for him and we could tell that he was so proud of himself.
First came the "knee walking".....
Then we took our first real steps.....
The following weekend was the weekend right before Halloween, so we had a baby halloween party at our place. We had several of our friends over that have kids all near Brady's age and showed off their costumes. It was adorable to watch, but the kids were not too pleased with our idea to line them all up on the couch.
Griffey even had a date for the party (Kirby, which is Kris and Tina and baby Tessa's dog) but was really embarrassed by his costume...
And then the next day, Roscoe Village had their annual Kids Halloween Parade, where they basically block off the streets and everyone marches down the street a few block in their costumes and the local businesses hand out candy. The parade was only a block away from our place, so we dressed Griffey up in his police dog shirt and all walked over. Griffey seemed to like the attention and Brady enjoyed practicing his new walking skills.
