Xavier started walking the week after Christmas last year. But only if we'd beg him to. :-) He hated doing it, even though he could, preferring to crawl instead.

This week he started doing more walking on his own... but today, I think today's really the turning point. He walked a lot more than he crawled today. He even turned around, 90 degrees, 180 degrees, walking in circles, and even trying to walk fast to catch up to his sister.

So down the road, when we wonder, when did Xavier start walking, I think we'd have to say, 2 days before his 1st birthday.

Way to go boy!
