Jac is walking 90% of the time

In just a couple of days Jac has gone from walking 50% of the time to walking 90% of the time. Amazing. We have been to Kangaroo Kingdom every day this week and that seems to have really encouraged him to walk. There is a lot more open space there to walk in things are always moving around as the kids play.

Today we took him to the local mall and he walked all over the place. First we played in the play area and he walked all over there, doing a little bit of crawling, but mostly walking, and a lot of falling. Then we ventured out into the mall and he insisted upon getting down and walking there. While I nursed Nic, Jac and Daddy walked all over the place! He even ventured into Nordstroms!



He has also started being able to carry things while he is walking. At home today he was carrying an empty Siig bottle around the house and at Kangaroo Kingdom he was carrying a large purple ball around. I was really impressed when he was able to reach way out in front of him to pick it up without falling over.

It is amazing how quickly walking has become normal and I am no longer surprised (at all) when he gets up and walks!
