On September 3, 2012, Gavin wanted to push Everett in his little wagon. We worked on pushing slowly and being gently. As you can see from this video, it was a work in progress but the boys were having great fun. I turned to the stove to keep cooking. After a few minutes of playing with toys in the wagon, the noises changed so I turned to look. Everett was pushing Gavin!!! I was so shocked that I was not quite sure what to do or say. Everett started pulling up in early July, but he had only taken a few steps holding on when he is mad and REALLY wants something. Plus, he was pushing a 30-pound toddler! As you can see from our re-enactment, Everett sure has a lot of grit and determination. And once he figured it out, there was no stopping him. Everett loved walking all downstairs with the walker and was right back at the next morning. Check out the compilation of these events.

Everett loved using the walker - he really wanted to move faster to keep up with Gavin. Everett waited for daddy to take his first solo steps. On October 13, 2012, Everett took his first steps towards Nate at the Children's Museum. It did not take him long to start walking on his own! Check out the two videos from November 1st at the Residence Inn and then November 7th in our new home. Within a month, Everett was off for the races. Now, we can hardly keep up with him.
