JACK IS WALKING! :) Steve, Jack and I were in Baltimore, MD as I had an aneurysm removed via brain surgery on Sept 29th and the Saturday before surgery, I changed Jack's diaper and his push cart was sitting close by and he just stood up and walked about 12 steps - it was great! Steve, Ashley (our nanny) and I cheered and Jack cried with the overwhelming reaction. We have returned home to Beaufort and are doing great! I am on medical leave from work and am slowly recovering but loving my morning routine back with Jack. He is babbling constantly and says mama, dada, woof woof, oooo - oooo (for a monkey), and roar (for a lion). He can climb up and down stairs and is very proud of such accomplishment! He also loves to point especially on walks to dogs and birds. We cant believe he is going to be one in a month as this year has flown by but we are loving every minute!! This was a big month for us and we realize more than ever that life is precious and we love and appreciate our family and friends more than anything!
