Baby Steps & Birthday Parties

John Michael starting taking some steps on Tuesday and has taken 3 or 4 steps several times since then. He then gets excited and either sits down or loses his balance. He is very proud of himself though with a great big smile across his face. He is a very busy little guy already and walking will probably only increase his rate of activity. I told someone the other day that either I have forgotten this stage with Samuel, or Samuel was not this active, or I am just too old now to keep up with him. He keeps us on our toes! Samuels' 8th birthday party is tonight at the movie theatre with the premier of "Star Wars: The Clone Wars" animated movie. Several of his buddies will be there for the movie and cake afterwards. He is so excited! I'm sure Mrs. Sparks will have a rough time keeping his attention at school today.
