Family Portraits

We went ahead and took advantage of Brooks' ability to sit, without crawling and had family portraits taken.  I am very happy with the way they turned out, and I am excited to try and make a collage wall in my house (if you have any helpful hints let me know).  The hard part is going to be choosing which photos get displayed, but I'd say that's a good problem to have!  Thanks to Angela Wilson Photography for a job well done!

Luckily we went ahead and took the pictures, because my little man is now on the move.  He does an army crawl at the moment and is not very interested in staying on his knees.  Whenever he can grab onto something he pulls right up to his feet.  We are at the frustrating time when he wants to move so quickly and easily, but it's still a struggle! 

He is, however, standing independently.  He can hold onto something and stand for a very long time without help.  When he isn't holding anything, he stays on his feet for about 10 seconds (long enough to realize no one is holding him up).  He loves to hold my hands and walk around the house!

Another important milestone- first word :)  He is now saying "mama," although it comes out with his tongue hanging out of his mouth.  It's the word I have worked on with him the most (of course), so I'm pretty sure that's his intention! I have it on video, but once again can't figure out why it won't upload!
