He's mobile

Douglas took his first real crawl on July28, 2007 at 8.5 months old. Then we went on vacation and all he wanted to do was walk. He wouldn't sit still and play at the cabin like he does at home and he didn't seem too interested in crawling alot either. He insisted upon walking around the coffee table or holding on to us. He now can walk holding on to one of hands instead of holding onto both hands. When we got back yesterday I set him on the living room floor with toys and I walked into the kitchen and he crawled after me. He's not a fan of tile floor yet. The house is not baby proof so thats a pain. We bought outlet plugs and locks for our cabinets but haven't installed them yet because of vacation. Travis is out of town and as soon as he gets back we leave for Branson, MO with my family so baby proofing will have to wait a while.

Vacation was good. We saw old friends and visited with family. One of Travis' sisters lives in Hong Kong so we haven't seen her family in 1.5 years, I think. It was great to see everyone and meet our new nephew, although he isn't too new anymore. He's over a year old and we just met him. It'll be fun when him and Douglas are at the ages that they'll play together. We actually didn't take too many photos but here are some.
Here are the 8 Hill cousins. I had to take 2 because the 3 year girls both wanted to sit on Taylors lap so I didn't get a photo of both.

Wow, he is growing up so fast. Does that make you really nervous about being mobile? We are so nervous about it, and dont want that to happen too soon, we are not ready to baby proof.

He looks so big!!! Way to go Douglas!

We don't do much baby proofing here. Our cabinets don't have anything dangerous in them so we just let our kids play if they want. Good luck with all of that! They always find SOMETHING no matter how much you baby proof!

Rhonda,
He's not walking by himself yet!!! He just started crawling and now he walks holding on to 1 of our hands instead of both hands.

That's pretty much walking! Kacey just started doing that too....but she is just about a year!
