For the record, the day after Simon first said Momma (with meaning,) he spent the entire day saying Dada. Screaming it actually, from time to time :-) And now he's not really saying it to either of us anymore. Ah well.
Aside from that setback, he's taken a huge leap forward and is officially walking!
It happened this past Friday just before his morning nap. We were playing upstairs and he just let go of me and walked to the other side of the room, turned around and then walked back! He was so impressed with himself... and it is SO cute! He's officially a toddler!
Josh and I are completely shocked at how well he's taken to it. He just walks all over the place now, without any real problems. Sure, he falls down a little and he's still learning how to handle uneven surfaces, but he sure is determined. He just keeps at it until he masters something, like transitioning from the wood floor to carpet.
This first video was taken on his fourth or fifth stroll around the room because I didn't have a camera nearby.
On Saturday, the sun finally came out (although only for the day) so we walked down to the "beach" near our house (it's on Lake Washington) and let Simon roam around. He had a little trouble on the uneven surface but loved every minute of it.

That's AWESOME! I love the sound effect you make for when he falls down too. :-)
So cool, he's a big kid now, amazing how much he's progressed in just a month. Nice lake, looks chillllly!
What a little man! His hair reminds me of John's when he was little.

I agree with Beth, his hair is like
John's. Have you moved everything above the 2nd shelf yet ;-))))
Wow - he's a walking little man! Definitely time to lock up the things you don't want destroyed!
