Houston, We Have Liftoff!

June11

In an epic battle of Alex vs. The Lazy, Alex is the true victor at long last!

He took his first steps today, and I’m insanely excited. He’s going to be a walking machine in no time.

Now he can finally free himself from your tyranny (and probably outrun you, given your condition).

Run, Alex, run!

Way to go, Alex! Now teach him where the snacks and bevvies are kept and you’ve got your own personal waitstaff. Best thing is, he’s too young to ask for tips!

GO alex. He totally will outrun you-how funny.

Woo hoo Alex! You know, I think he was just waiting for a time when you wouldn’t be able to chase him so well, haha.

Perfect timing, Mommy is laid up and can’t chase him, so off he goes!
Very exciting, yay Alex!

Is that happiness I hear? Yes, I think it is!

A life changing moment, for sure. For Becky! AHAHAHA!

I am such a lazy mom. Toddlers freak me out. If you quickly wrap his little ankles together with a dishtowel he might just forget the experience.

Or else just throw away all the wood in your house. Oh, the glass, too. Any collectibles. The tables. Take all the knobs off of the stove. Put your mattresses directly on the floor and get rid of the frames. Put locks on the tops of all your doors.

I’m sure I’ve forgotten something.

Oh yeah!! Hurry hide the breakables.

Hey Aunt Becky,

Maybe you can teach him how to do the Macarena or the Electric slide and post the video…

Woohoo! Way to go Alex…now go run down your Mommy before she gets away! Oh, wait, she can’t run right now so you are safe!

Go Alex!!! Alex is da man 🙂

How are you feeling lately? Has the ms subsided any?
On June 12th, 2008 at 8:36 am Karen Says:
WTG Alex. Um….don’t they it say it take 12 months to learn to walk and 12 seconds to lear to run. I think you are in for a load of chasing the little man around the house.
On June 12th, 2008 at 9:25 am Heather Says:
YEAH for Alex!!!
On June 12th, 2008 at 9:32 am Don Mills Diva Says:
Get your running shoes on!

Yay Alex!

Ahhh, I remember those days fondly. I was so excited for him to say his first word and to take his first steps. He never crawled, just started walking. Then I remember wanting him to shut up and sit the hell down!

You go, Alex!! Mama can’t catch you.

Yea! I was so relieved when Landon started walking because I just knew I wouldn’t have to carry him as much anymore. That didn’t exactly materialize for a while, but hey! It’s the first step.

I toasted his success over a martini called The Casablanca — red wine, creme de cassis, and champagne.

Well done, little boy!

What does his penis have to say about this development?

Also, yay Alex!
