On Wednesday, August 7th he suddenly decided to start walking. We have tried time and time again to have him walk between us or the couch and he will take one or two steps, but the other day he suddenly decided to take 15 steps!!! My dad stood him up and he just walked across the room to me (Marc was at work and was sad he missed all the fun, but has since seen Jackson in action). He gets around so easily and seems to love the new freedom. I haven't called it walking yet, because when he falls down he begins crawling again---I guess I just pictured him being able to fall down and then stand back up and keep going. But from what I understand he is walking and loving it! I'm excited to not having him crawling through everything and getting so dirty from the gross places he decides to crawl. I have been waiting for this moment for a LONG time! Here is a clip of him walking(we had him walking so much the first evening I had to bribe him with chocolate to do it for the camera)...

Yeah Jackson! Good luck, he's really on the move now! It would be fun to get our walking babies together when I'm in town in a few weeks! Will you be around from Aug 24th to Sept 5th?
oh my goodness! can you believe that he's old enough to walk? Next, he'll be able to run, then start driving...golly. :)
Congratulations, Jackson. Welcome to the wonderful world of walking!!
Wow Michelle, that is awesome. your life at church is about to change, because once they start walking, that's all they want to be doing!
By the way, I saw the quilt your mom made Jackson at the Alpine quilt show...so so cute!
Way to go dude!
Hey again.
Thanks for the confidence you have in me! Yes, I'm scared to death to have 3 kids! I'm going to be in Alpine this weekend at my mom's. Do you want to get together sometime then? Maybe Friday evening, or sometime Sat.? I'll bring my quilt and pattern and stuff. What works for you??
Hooray! Walking brings on a whole new phase of life for little people. It is so fun to watch :) This now begins all the falls and bruises and scrapes and bumps--now he's going to become a real seasoned little boy! Congrats to our little buddy!

How exciting that Jackson is walking. He did a great job on the video. Bytheway, how do you do videos? I have played around with it but have yet to know how. Anyways, it was so fun seeing you a couple weeks ago. Talk to you soon!
way to go jackson... way to go mom and dad (you've survived so far, and the walking will be a new adventure!) I need to get over to see him, he's huge!
