I say the same thing every time I see Isaac starting to walk around: "Oh my!" It catches me off guard and I have to do a double-take to see if it really is Isaac that's learning to walk or if I'm having some sort of flashback to Noah a few years ago. My first reaction is to scoop him up and hold him like a little baby. Really, I've tried it and it doesn't go over like I imagined. No almost-eleven-month-old wants to be held like a baby when they're trying to figure out how to walk. If he could, Isaac would say, "Oh mom! Put me down! I have important things to do." So, off he walks with the kitchen chair or the walker. He turns around to wave and squeal to say "look at me! I'm growing up!"
