Sam Walks!

Sam walked Wednesday, it was amazing to see him put it all together. He walks back and forth between us, and lurches for a big hug at the end.
The pat a cake clapping has also been extremely cute. Tonight he climbed the stairs, all the way to the top on his own- watch out!
As you can see, dada reads to him too, though I have memorized most of his favorite books already... over and over and over we read them. mike is the ball guy with him, trying to teach him to throw forward instead of on top of his head or behind him.. over and over and over...

dada and mama are known words it seems. he is learning to wave and has his signals for done and up and i think i saw eat yesterday.
the broom is his current favorite toy, along with "petting" the cats very, very hard.

mad river is his favorite hang out, especially the upstairs lodge and trolling for smiles in the purple sled outside, waving with mom's big gloves on...

ttfn,
love the russell family.
