First New Studio Pictures

I had a high school senior over this early-afternoon for pictures indoors due to weather, and we thought we'd snap a few of the little guy. We think he gets the Popeye arms from Uncle John.....

We had a pretty nice day, so Beck and I went to practice walking under the bridge. The grass was a bit spongy and deep, which was a bit tricky to walk in. More than the grass, Beck found the water irresistible, and he kept trying to get to the river. He's becoming a proficient walker quickly, and crawling is but a memory, we feel.

..... walkin, talkin miracle from......... Astoria

As can be seen from the photo, Beck enjoyed the first bit of sun since 2005 in Astoria. We also went into town, and Beck had a little stroll down main street. He's been walking for about a week, and he's getting comfortable with his new mode of transport! Go Beck, go!
