I got Elliot his first pair of real walking shoes. It is still muddy from the melting snow and his little soft soled crib shoes aren't going to work for all our outdoor play coming up. He instantly crawled, forgetting how to walk as soon as I put them on. I'm sure it won't be long before he's running in them though. He measured a size 5 1/2 Wide. Noah was 5 1/2 extra wide (at 9 months when he started walking). So smaller than big brudder for sure. I thought his feet were narrow - hahaha! I'm used to huge Fred Flintstone feet I guess. Noah also got some new tennis shoes that have green trim on them, so he was thrilled. And taking them both by myself shoe shopping at Nordies went way better than I expected. Shoe shopping with Noah is something I have always despised. Waiting for our turn, him cooperating sitting still to try on shoes, etc. He did awesome yesterday! Elliot was the one running away into their stock room multiple times! I bribed Noah with a Merry-Go-Round ride and cherry limeade if he did good.
We spent the afternoon outdoors. E loves digging in the dirt, playing with acorns, trying to RUN even though he only really started walking in the past couple of weeks. I was just trying to prevent a face plant injury on the cement at the church. He is at that age that he is wild, has no fear and has his own agenda. This spring & summer he's going to keep me on my toes just chasing him. I had to run him home quickly to wash hands after him attempting to pick up dog poop someone didn't scoop.
I only have a few cell phone pics of E. Noah was running around playing Captain America chasing Batman & Wonderwoman (Hudson & Addison).
This is as far as he got climbing. God forbid I try to help him or move him to something else!
Playing at the church. This little vest brings back so many memories of Noah playing in the dirt too (only it was Fall for him)
