My little sister L has her own classification system for babies. If she is trying to determine a baby's age (i.e. determine if the baby has potential to be her playmate), she asks if the baby is a "holding baby," "crawling baby," "walking baby," or "talking baby." Her classification pretty much stops after "talking baby" (I think because she's deduced that "talking babies" can interact enough to play with her), but she does like to observe whether the baby is or is not wearing a diaper. It seems like in her mind (and rightly so), babies stop being babies after the diaper comes off.I would like report that as of tonight, it appears that Sam has crossed the threshold into the realm of the "walking baby." J and I were helping him practice walking, and it seemed like something just clicked in Sam's mind. He started to walk the length of large rooms, veer away from our open arms, and walk to places on his own volition - things that he has never done before. He toddled all around the main floor of our house for about 30 minutes, with several falls and a few crawls thrown in the mix.
From now on, it looks like our dude is going to be an upright being.

Wow! And hang on, because...yeah. There may come times when you want to tackle him and convince him to go back to crawling, already!
MWAH to the Scattered Apples family! And congratulations, Sam!
Way cute picture!
I wonder what kind of trouble he'll get into being upright. Should be fun (or at least interesting)!
Yay! Get ready to start saying,"No!" a lot! :)
oh boy, now things get exciting... :) he'll be outrunning you soon...
Cute!!! Ever since Kirsten has been walking I've missed having a crawling baby. It's really exciting to have them start running around though and watch them learn new things.
