Jonah began taking steps several weeks ago. But until today, whenever he lost his balance, he would just take off in a fast crawl. He couldn't stay upright for too long because his legs weren't strong enough.
I don't remember Jonah crawling at all today. And he acted like all new walkers, just walking and walking. He would walk from toy to toy, taking little time to play. Instead, he tried to carry toys on his walkabouts. As a result, Jonah was happier than usual today, which I didn't think possible.
Jonah is one happy kid. It's easy to make him laugh. He appreciates and enjoys simple pleasures. For example, he used to try to touch his shadow. Now he just looks down and laughs. And it's rare for Jonah not to bounce when he hears music.
Elliott is a deep thinker and extremely sensitive. Currently he's having bouts of sadness about growing up and turning five. I'm afraid life will be tougher for Elliott than Jonah. Maybe Jonah can teach Elliott how to more often just live in the moment.
(Day 18 of 30-Day Shred: Added five extra jumping jacks, which makes a total of 105 per workout.)
