Crawling and Walking

Well, it's all happening!!! About three weeks ago Solomon ventured out and started to mo(ve. He began to crawl...although his style is a bit weird. He crawls on one knee and one foot. it takes a while for him to get anywhere but at least he's getting somewhere. But then about 3 days later he took his first steps. I nearly fell over backwards. We were in his bedroom after a bath and i held him in front of me. I let go for a second and he took a step...then I did it again and he took three steps without me holding on. it was a great game for a while, where he would take a couple of steps and then fall into my (or Phil's) arms. But the last couple of days he's just decided to let go of the furniture and walk to somewhere a metre or two away! There is no stopping this boy.
Apart from that life is pretty crazy here. I'm trying to get my studies done for this semester and Phil is trying to get his reports done, as well as preparing for our big trip to the US.
I've added a snap of our newest nephew Caleb Kirk. He was teeny tiny. This photo looks like it could be what life will be like in December!!!
