Sprokets

I am Dieter.  Welcome to Sprokets.

(I thought a black turtleneck would be cute with Sam's snowboarding pants, but it turns out it just makes him look like a goofy German Mike Meyers character.)

Walk to Mommy

Happy Josiah Carberry Day

Sam celebrates Josiah Carberry Day, a Brown holiday, in his second of many Brown t-shirts.  It's too bad we don't have any ceramic pots, but if we did, I'm sure they'd be cracked and I'm sure Sam would be studying them.

Walking

With lots and lots of encouragement, and adult hands no more than half an inch away, we've been able to get Sam to walk a step or two every few days.  Today for the first time he starting going all on his own, without hands nearby to catch him.  I caught the latter half of his longest walk, from the desk to the couch, on video.

Standing and Smiling

Standing Up!

Sam is so excited to get the remotes, he doesn't even realize that he's standing up on his own!

Happy New Year!
