The Lesson
By Carol Lyn Pearson
Yes, my fretting,
frowning child.
I could cross
The room to you
More easily
But I’ve already
Learned to walk
So I make you
Come to me.
Let go now—
There!
You see?
O remember
This simple lesson, child,
And when
In later years
You cry out
With tight fists
And tears—
“O help me, God,
Please”—
Just listen
And you will hear
A silent voice:
“I would, child,
I would,
But it’s you, not I
Who needs to try
Godhood.”
H gave us all an early Christmas present. He is so excited that he figured out how to walk like everyone else. He still prefers to crawl because he is faster but we catch him practicing walking all the time. It's fun to see him grow up but it's sad to know that he is my last baby. I want to freeze all these "firsts" so that I can remember them forever.
Learning to Walk
by Sharon Froese
Learning to walk
is not easy at all
I must get back up
every time that I fall
I get up when I'm down
That's how I'll learn to walk
Now if only I knew how to talk...

I always loved watching them learn to walk. They just get so excited. All mine walked so early it seems, it just happened way to quickly. Yeah for Henry!
Good job Henry, We loved seeing you walk. It is amazing how fast you are growing. We love you Grandma and Grandpa W
So precious....It's hard knowing that its is your last baby.....Seeing all the firsts and knowing its your last....Remember there is always little surprises or grandbabies.....He he....
I feel the same with Beck and he's not even doing anything yet. The 0/3 month outfit he's in today fits better than last week and I know in another 1.5 weeks it might not fit at all. I want to keep him small for a while...
Wow--and at 10 months too! I bet he is so happy with himself--he looks like he is in the pictures!
When me and Alexys saw this we were so amazed how long it was I wish henry was still that small because he is so darn cute!!!!! he still is though. shaelynne and alexys
