These Boots Shoes Were Made for Walking

On Monday morning (10/12/09) Drew took his official first steps! I didn't even cry. Aren't you proud of me??? My eyes filled up with tears until he looked up at me with his face beaming with pride. I couldn't help but to smile and laugh along with him. It was one of those moments that you just want to tuck away in your memory and replay often. My baby boy is officially a toddler. And I couldn't be happier!


This video is from last night (Tuesday, October 13th)
* Please excuse "Cowboy Jessie" in the background. You know that my eldest never breaks character. ;)


To celebrate his new skill, Grammie bought Drew his first set of "real" shoes (not Pediped) as an early birthday present. We had to search high and low for the correct size. Apparently, Drew has a very wide foot - a size 5 1/2 extra wide, to be exact. I told the salesman that he had Barney Rubble feet. ;)





I have a feeling that my little Boog will put many miles on his new kicks. Ha!

Yay Drew!! He is just precious. I love Cowboy Jessie informing us that he's going to "Cowboy camp to learn how to be a cowboy." Hilarious.
