Baby Needs A New Pair Of Shoes!

The time has come for Brian to have his first pair of shoes (or as they are also known around here - "shoe ball covers"). Whenever his parents have seen perfect strangers with infant kids wearing these shoes, they have quizzing them as to where they bought them. Armed with our new found knowledge, we set out yesterday on our shoe quest. Unfortunately, we didn't have any luck. Today Brian and Mommy made one more attempt and as you can see from this picture, we had success! I'm sure that having something on his feet for the first time must be a very unusual feeling, but Brian didn't make any attempts to pry them off out of protest. His first few steps in them did have his Mommy and Daddy chuckling. Instead of the "heal-toe" movements people who have been walking for longer than a week normally use, Brian went with more of a "Frankenstein" move by lifting up his entire foot and then stepping down flatfooted. Granted, it was very funny to watch, but you would have though he won an Olympic race the way his parents clapped and carried on after he took a couple more steps!
