Ready to Walk

Our little baby man is 10 months old now and he is ready to walk... almost. He tries very hard everyday and gets a little closer each time. He walks around the furniture and uses his walker like a champ. His newest walking experiment is to grab onto mom and dad's clothes and walk behind us. He's pretty good at it, but it does lead to a lot of falling and baby bruises. The video should explain it all.
Caden is just getting over his second real illness... a double ear infection and a ruptured ear drum (yikes!). Last week was really bad for him and Mommy had to miss the very last day of school to stay home with the sick little man... in total I missed 3 months for my maternity leave at the beginning of the school year and a whopping 13 sick days! Needless to say I think that this wasn't my best year teaching (but I love being a mommy so it's ok). Actually, Cory, Caden and I have all been sick this past week so we didn't get a great start to our summer vacation. But, at least we have 2 more months to make up for it (one of the perks of being teachers). :)
Well, enjoy the "walking" video and hopefully we will be posting more photos and such while we are on vacation.
Ta ta for now....
