Big Boy Walking Shoes

Rooney's had a busy couple of days. Thursday Roonster and I went over to his buddy Parker's house. Parker's mom needed to be sans baby for a little bit so we went over to keep an eye on things.

Oh man these two boys are so cute together! They explore, communicate and play together. They also have problems sharing and they want something the other one has already. I think these playgroups and hanging out with kids his own age will be such a huge benefit to Rooney. Plus it's kind of nice to be able to hang out with someone (Parker's Mom) who is basically at the same place you are and bringing your baby over is a benefit.

We have also been getting ready for Dan and Kim's wedding. Rooney's been working on his walking skills and he's doing pretty well, but I don't think he'll be able to "walk" down the aisle, especially with the new shoes we got him. We got him some new big boy walking shoes that have an actual sole. His other shoes were crib shoes and the sole was soft leather. These new shoes have a flexible sole but they are still heavier and stiffer than the crib shoes. When he wears them it seems he drags his feet a little more. Hopefully this won't set him back too much in walking. These shoes are so cute and I think they'll look very dashing with his tuxedo that he is wearing for the wedding.

Maybe we can pin the ring pillow to his back and he can crawl it down the aisle.
