Hugs & Walking

As promised in my last post, here are a few videos from the past month.   The first is Enoch giving Hugh a hug.  This is pretty much one of the only times he's snuggly (as opposed to his general rowdiness), so I ask him for hugs a lot.  :)



And this one is a pretty recent walking video (maybe 1 week old).  In general, Enoch is doing a good job walking these days, but his confidence level is still slightly low (it is after all a new skill), and he isn't yet convinced that it's the most efficient way to get places, so his motivation is also slightly low.  We have instigated a new policy in the house though (in hopes of Little Guy being a proficient walker before little sister comes).... the new policy is that anytime we would normally carry Enoch somewhere, we try to let him walk beside us holding our hand (unless we are rushing out of the door).  This seems to be increasing both his motivation and confidence, as he really enjoys toddling alongside us down the hallways.  :)  He also REALLY enjoys getting to walk when we go places (like shopping), so I let him walk beside me when we are out and about sometimes too... not gonna lie, his little baby steps always pull on this mama's heart strings.  ;)
