And He's Off.......

No questions asked...Piersen is walking. And actually trying to run. And climb. And get up onto bikes. He is loving his new found freedom and I am left chasing after him and realizing there is NO safe zones anymore.

But I love it. I love to watch how excited he gets and how happy he feels to be able to go where he wants to go. It is cute. And he is just so fun.

It is hard to dedicate a specific date to when this whole process began. Since early July (the 7th) he took what are called his "first steps", and we knew he could walk - he just didn't care to do it. Or he would only do it if he was prodded on by us or his brothers. It has now been a few weeks since he has truly taken off...on his own.

Way to go Pierce! Here is a little video of him, taken a few weeks ago. You'll also hear how noisy this little guy is....talks a lot,(just in his own language!) and usually quite loud (maybe has something to do with being the 3rd brother). Oh and it is also worth noting that these days he has 1 top front tooth to go along with his 2 bottom ones! He looks hilariously cute - I'm trying to capture his "farmer boy" look but thus far have been unsuccessful - and am running out of time as he is about to gain a few more to balance out his mouth!
