valen has been pulling himself up onto things and climbing on things this past week. he doesnt really have any fear at all, he just started trying to walk and then soon falls on his face. dahlia was too nervous to let go of anything till about  one year, but he has no inhibitions at all. today actually he was standing at the super sauce and it was about 8 inches from the couch and he stepped over to the couch while holding on... he was just moving right along. i really cant believe that he could possible walk with those tiny feet! they are so little! i try to keep an eye on him or be close by when he is trying to pull these stunts, but he is bound to get a lot of bruises starting right now. there is just no fighting that.  this is waht i wasnt sure about having a boy, they are more ambitious and he is going to make me go gray at a very young age (= next he is going to want to play in the dirt! yikes! am i really ready for this mommy thing? i was nervous about having a boy and this is just the start of his crazy ways just like his daddy!
