Timothy has discovered mobility and he absolutely loves it. He reaches up one or two hands when he wants my help, but otherwise he is cruising from chair to ottoman to cabinet to chair again with a gleeful look on his face. Today, he was so excited to get to one of the chairs in the living room, he forgot to hold on and managed to walk four steps on his own!
One of his new favorite games is walking around, holding my hands, and kicking a ball in front of him. The dogs have a tennis ball they play with, and Timothy is pretty enthralled by it as well. He walks (pretty darn fast, I might add) toward the ball and as soon as reaches it, he kicks it! It is no fluke either, as we spend a good deal of time during the day chasing and kicking the ball. To be honest, his aim and ability to make contact with the ball is far better at 8 1/2 months than mine has ever been.
Yeah, we have a future star on our hands. I can just feel it!

I can't believe he is already walking! That is amazing!
Slow that kid down!
We can't believe it either! Although he sure has been wanting it for a long time. Sure is fun to watch him grow.
Oh Boy, he looks full of mischief now!! Did his eyes get even bluer??:) Can't wait to see you all on Sunday!
8 1/2 months? Dang - I consider myself somewhat lucky as my little one didn't start walking until 20 months, even though we did want her to get going earlier.
Actually, I think Timmy is going to be a much happier little fella with this mobility. He has always wanted to be on the move, and the independance is thrilling for him!
