Local mountains

We're not mountained out yet and headed up to Mt. Charleston for the morning. Normally I'd dread the hour drive, but Brandt is still fighting his naps a bit so it was a good way to get him to sleep a couple hours.

It was much dustier than Mammoth (and we were at a pretty dusty campsite) so Brandt got nice and dirty. I really can't wait for him to start walking! In the meantime, however, you will see him in this same pair of "dirty" pants in all outdoor pictures. It will be so nice when his knee and hands don't get so dirty everytime he goes exploring. Of course then I'll have a new set of worries, but I'm still looking forward to it.

Brandt can stand for up to ten seconds before he sits down or grabs onto something so that's a start. I think real walking is still a ways off, but at least he's making some balance gains. His cycling is still more developed than his walking. He can mount and dismount his Radio Flyer Scoot About, but hasn't completely gotten the hang of steering it yet. He's been watching a little of the Tour de France so maybe that will inspire him to ride more.
