His own timetable
Colin has been taking steps for a while now, but just when I think I know exactly what he’s going to do next and how long it will take, I’m usually wrong. I figured as soon as he knew how to take a step, he’d be zooming around the room, but he’s taking his time. He walks around things constantly, and he was very excited to get a little car designed for him to walk behind from his Nana (that’s Mary Ellen, Jess’ Mom). He loves to walk with that, unfortunately our house isn’t quite big enough to give him a lot of running room. Even if he runs it into the wall, he can still press one of the numerous buttons to start up a song (yeah, it’s a bells and whistles toy, but I’m letting it slide this time). The best part is when he gets to one of the four or five songs he really likes, then he does the Colin Dance, which is sort of a full body spasm - got to get it on video.
He has figured out how to get behind the table though, anything to get close to a dangerous electrical outlet or appliance of some sort (just to keep Jess on her toes):
