Today our baby Magnus had his one year Dr.'s checkup, & he is relieved to announce that he is still managing to stay off the charts for height/weight/head circumference. His weight was 30 lbs, 9 oz, and he is 34" tall. He was a very brave boy for his shots too, and only screamed for about 30 seconds. =) The biggest news of the hour isn't about his doctor visit though. Tonight after we got home, he decided to let go of everything and walk! Joe and I have been saying for weeks, "One of these times he's just going to take off!" and tonight was that night! I didn't think he'd "take off" in such a literal sense, but he actually startled me by walking around the dining room corner into the kitchen where I was at! I was like, "Hey! You're walking all by yourself!" He spent all evening doing just that... exploring every inch of the house like he'd never seen it before. We'd walk along behind him sometimes, but he really didn't need us there since he only got tripped up a couple times. It was hard to keep up with him! We kept saying, "There he goes!" The pictures up there are of him "going". He has new-found freedom, and he thinks it's terrific. We are so happy for him!
