We have evolved. We have decided it's better to walk with two legs than continue this journey on all fours. At exactly 17 months (March 13th) our youngster finally decided that walking was going to be the way to go. Both my parents and Carrie's parents were in the state of Florida and were able to witness the event. Gavin would like to thank the neanderthals first, for without them this wouldn't be possible. He would further like to thanks his older brother, Quinny, for proving that walking was indeed possible to learn as child. He would like to thank his adorning parents, whom never lost faith in his journey and continually encouraged him to take those first steps. And lastly he would like to thank himself for gaining the courage and taking those first steps for anything is truly possible. Hooray!
He promptly than took a header at daycare and bloodied his nose pretty good smoking the bookshelf on the way down. We had not yet had an opportunity to provide the necessary physics lesson. I guess some things one has to learn on their own. He still crawls from time to time but we're so happy he's moving in the right direction. What a great time. And you know what walking means? It means it's time for another baby! We'll see. I'm still encouraging the wife to have four but it takes two to tango. (Don't take this gibberish as some kind of announcement). My better half requires me to put these disclaimers in here.
Forgive my recent absence in blogging. For a while there I was without a computer so I will shoot out several posts over the next week to get caught up on all that's been going on. It's also been spring break and March is the busiest month for us with visitors. We saw Carrie's grandparents, my parents, Carrie's parents, I snuck in a trip to Louisiana to watch opening NCAA madness with my closest undergrad Badger fans (2 wins!!) and I'm heading to the great Cheese State tomorrow for more madness and fun. It's been a riot and beautiful weather all the way around. We've been to Siesta Key, Medeira Beach, Clearwater Beach and have I named enough beaches yet?! It's nice to have so many options. Quinny even learned how to "swim!" It's been a great start to the spring and we're looking forward to more adventures with the kids as we embark on summer.
Here is a link to the skating video from the last post on youtube.

YEAH Gavin! That is so great! Sounds like you guys are doing great. Wish we could be there in FL to enjoy some beaches and good company too! Maybe someday.
