Griffin has taken to walking like a duck to water!

It is hard to believe he has only been walking for a few days. I decided to
send this ad hoc update since I am sure all of this will be old hat by the
time I send his fifteen month update and will hardly warrant comment.

Here is a brief description of his walking:

In a word: Frankensteinesque. He starts by holding onto something
(highchair, kitchen chair, dog kennel, wall, pants leg of a taller person)
and then looks at who ever is cheerleading him to start walking and flashes
a knowing and proud smile. Then he sticks his arms straight out in front,
leans back from waist to head and takes lurching mini-steps forward. This
posture, with the slight herky jerky walking motion and a good dose of
grunting really makes him look like a little Frankenstein. But he's OUR
little Frankenstein and we are so proud!!
