We have a walker!

It's official....Jack is a walker! All day today he was just walking around freely, nothing to lean onto for support, no flopping down and crawling to get something, just straight two footed transporting today! Brendan is almost there, but no quite, so with that, we have the official passing.....

People had warned me even before Jack was born that at some point Jack would pass Brendan in some way. They told me to prepared, it would be hard. So why don't I feel that? Why don't we feel that? We marvel and celebrate every milestone of every child. There are pictures and videos to mark the occasions, there are high fives and plenty of clapping, for everyone. I want to celebrate Jack's accomplishments and milestones just as we celebrate Rory and Brendan's.

There is no sadness, there is no difficulty. Brendan's day is coming, he'll probably skip the walking and go straight to running...and we will celebrate it, then we'll celebrate Jack running too! Then I'll probably need a bottle of wine!
