Evan took his first steps on September 18- just after his 13 month bday!! In the last 2 weeks, we have seen up to 10 steps in a row- but he is still not in a big hurry to walk alone!  He want's to walk all over the house- all over every where- but he really wants to hold at least one hand while he is doing it!

He does love walking though... he is so happy when he takes steps and loves a big hug when he gets somewhere! I expect he will take off very soon! LJ took his first single steps a little sooner (right before his 1st bday), but he didn't really walk around until after he was 14 months. We will see how quickly Evan gets there!!

Happy brothers playing at the park (thanks for picture Karinna!)... A tiny turtle I found on the trail while running... he was so cute, I almost brought him home with me for the boys... Often times LJ will sit in his bed playing and reading - for minutes or up to 2 hours sometimes- before either finally falling asleep or until I go get him! He rarely complains... he will just go get books and read in bed, or go read by his book cases, or lay on his back in bed and sing loudly (often in span
