Derek has been cruising holding on to the furniture for some time now. By Friday he was taking 5 steps after letting go. Then Saturday he let go and took 10. On Sunday it was even more. His confidence is growing. Now he even lets go of our hands without encouragement and takes off. Go Derek. Is this walking or is walking when he does it all the time?Derek is wearing his hood in the pictures because our furnace died on Friday. The heating guy came to fix it and we discovered we have 2 choices: either a very expensive fix on our 18 year old furnace or a new one needs to be bought. Either way, we were out of heat until at least Monday with the parts that would need to be ordered. So we bought a few space heaters and lots of fire wood. Derek's room is toasty warm and the lower level is pretty warm. We have been having fires in the living room to keep warm as well. It is still a bit chilly though. Derek has been very good about staying away from the fire which has been a huge blessing. We are very thankful that it is not colder out so our house did not get that cool. It has also been easy to keep Derek warm enough which was our biggest concern.

Go, Derek, go! I would call this walking. Even if experts wouldn't, I'm guessing it's only a matter of days before he will be walking all the time. Nice going!
Sounds like there were some two dog nights in Tualatin. Get the heater fixed today I hope? Although a fire sure can be cozy.
How about that little Derek, walking and everything. Way to go.
I would totally call this walking! Go Derek GO!
Not only is Derek walking, but he appears to be an amazing hip-hop dancer as well.
