Walk This Way

I've been very excited to write this post, but I was waiting until the right moment. Aka, waiting until I got a really good video of the action.

Harrison is officially walking. Here is your proof:

This is both exciting and terrifying. Although, maybe not as terrifying as I thought. I'm sure the running full speed ahead into sharp edges and planted objects phase is coming shortly, but as of now, he's extremely good at catching himself before a full-on face plant.

It's cute and endearing because all he wants to do is walk. He will fall 237 times in a row, but still get right back up and take a couple more steps. This fearlessness is a good quality, maybe for now anyway. Sometimes actually I think he is a little too fearless.

Now, we just have to work on the speech. Still have not heard a single "mama" or "dada" or anything remotely resembling a word out of the English dictionary, just a lot of groaning and blabbering. I am being careful what I wish for though, because I have heard from other moms that once they start talking, they never STFU, so I'll stay content in the land of quiet while I can.

Tonight, we were all set up with babysitters to go continue our stint as the Something Else band groupies, but Hurricane Andrea is ruining our shit. They are playing at a local park festival, outside, and I really am NOT a fan of the rain. It is supposed to rain basically all evening, so I'm a little disappointed. However, give me enough cups of beer and maybe I can make that happen.

Tomorrow, we have a couple appointments to go check out wedding venues in the Rochester area. This is partly exciting, and partly anxiety-inducing, since I am scared I will fall in love with one of the venues, then be crushed when I find out how much it is. Oh, isn't that just the life. Fingers crossed!

In the spirit of Harrison's walking, and that I can't get the song "Walk This Way" out of my head, and I like to take polls to help in my wedding planning...

Tell me one song you absolutely have to hear at a wedding. (It's never too early to work on the wedding playlist- I mean, isn't that one of the most important aspects of the night anyway?)
