It's helping me to gain a bit of insight as to what is next. Our current goal is for Little J to be sitting alone by his first birthday. He's on his way. Matthew is just darling and very inspiring I might add.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01988615707414674312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4274008603909996948.post-83388508646549447242009-05-14T21:04:00.000-05:002009-05-14T21:04:00.000-05:00Really great post I am looking forward to followin...Really great post I am looking forward to following you hope your will check out my blogs.<br /><br />http://ehaggins.blogspot.com<br />http://myfirst5k-erica.blogspot.comEricahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00569557159011147033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4274008603909996948.post-40394514041757755002009-05-14T19:42:00.000-05:002009-05-14T19:42:00.000-05:00Hey guys, came here via 'the bearded one'.

Meg was 2 when she took her first independent steps.<br /><br />But then, if you look at any group of people, can you guess who were the early or late walkers? Once we get there, it makes no difference :)Kim Ayreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02656677501116622953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4274008603909996948.post-19243431077233477622009-05-14T10:14:00.000-05:002009-05-14T10:14:00.000-05:00He's doing great!
