Apparently, Vincents only make stubborn children...I'm sure they don't get it from their mother. They do things in their own time, when they want. All our children have been late bloomers as far as baby milestones are concerned. Paige had a decent excuse (you'd be late walking too if your legs were covered in plaster!) But Claire and Bode are no exception, I guess. So it comes as no surprise that at 15 months, Bode is still not walking. He is perfectly content to crawl around the floor. So for Christmas, Santa brought Bode a little ride-along walker toy to encourage a little more mobility. 
It took him a few days to get the hang of it...but he has really got it down! He runs this thing from one end of the house to the other, usually with two giggly little shadows following after him. 
He can get it going so fast, that it was hard to capture a decent picture of him doing it! But at least he looks like he is having fun! He particularly enjoys doing laps around the kitchen table and the island. Notice his proud big sister cheering him on! So cute!
Note: He has also mastered pushing the baby doll stroller. No, this does not mean he will grow up with "issues". It means he is going to be a good daddy someday...when he's 40 and I finally decide to let my baby boy out of the house. On second thought...maybe he'll just be a really great uncle!
Such a proud, though kind of goofy, little smile! P.S. Just yesterday, Bode made a little bit more progress. He stood by himself in the middle of the floor! Just long enough to clap for himself and everyone to scream and yell, but still...

Hey baby! I love your blog pics! Who took those! :) Seriously, I want to do some more! Anyway, I can't believe your three adorable kids! And did you paint that cute white cabinet in the background? It looks like we need to take a trip to your house to visit and see your gorgeous decorating talents! We need to get together!
He is adorable! I especially love the picture with proud big sister Claire looking on. I was going to tell you that on Sunday at church we saw an older boy in our ward that we thought looked like Bode. We totally saw a twelve year old version on Bode! He's gonna be a cutie!
Well, he sure looks so dang cute pushing that around, who needs to walk anyway?!!! Brooke, it has been so long, we need to get together, I wonder if it is possible to get all of us together some time soon!!!!
