Breaking News: Jay can WALK... and TALK!

Today Jay officially started walking. He must have known what I was writing about today (in the Luxembourg post). We have been wishing so much that we would just go ahead and walk. Well he did it! He's off to a GREAT start. He's already practically running up and down the hall and he can even turn around flawlessly. Way to go Jay! We're soooooooooooo happy! Crazy enough, he also said his first real word today. He's been saying mama and dada for a while, but it almost doesn't count because he often babels with those consonants too. But today he started saying ball. Isn't ball a great word? It was his daddy's first word too. He says it whenever he sees his great big green ball. He even said it when he saw it in one of the videos we'd taken of him on Christmas day. My little guy is growing up. Isn't it amazing to feel so happy for your child? There's no joy like the joy you feel for your baby. YEAH JAY!
