First Steps

Pap Pap (aka: mouse) took his first real steps on day 17 - videoed for posterity on day 18. Here it is day 20 and he is just walking everywhere. He seems to enjoy exploring. . .backwards and forwards! The first few steps had to be taken on an empty stomach because his muscles just weren't strong enough to hold the weight of his big belly. Now that he has had some practice he can move around whenever he wants. But he is still a little boy. He will start crying if he has turned himself around and can't seem to find you. He is still at that age where all this is cute. Mole isn't too sure about him now that he is moving, but Abby seems to like him more. She actually thinks he is playing with her - I'm not even sure if he can hear her high pitched screams of joy yet.

Its still hard for him to push him self up. . .


But once he gets going. . .


There's no stopping him!


Until its time for bed - that is. . .
