Well today we got official word on Step 5 of our move. We will close on our new house in Texas June 23rd. That means a month of temporary housing once we move down there at the end of this month, but at least we have a concrete date to focus on now!
Also in the "step" department, Chase is getting stronger and stronger with his walking! He took his first "real" steps at Nicole's house Tuesday night (meaning he let go of me and took about 5 steps completely on his own), and today he ventured all over the place, going from person to person, letting go on his own without prodding... and he was truly enjoying himself! WOO HOO! We are thrilled, just days before his 17-month "birthday."
You know, our pediatrician said at his last appointment that if he wasn't walking by 18 months he would need to go to therapy (Physical? Occupational? I don't remember). Anyway.... I was never sold on that idea so I'm glad he started on his own before his 18 month visit so we don't have to fight that recommendation. I mean, this whole time we knew he was strong enough and definitely capable, he just lacked the courage and motivation. And come on.... How many adults do you see roaming around on their hands and knees? I was like, "He'll get it!" And today he proved it. We are so proud!

Yeah Chase! I think it's a boy thing...Jacob was not excited to start walking either - and even now doesn't always choose to walk. Hope Chase gets stronger and more confident every day!
