Ivan’s got Uncle Time right where he wants him.

In other Ivan news, the walking has begun.
In the past two weeks Ivan’s gone from just a few steps at a time to walking in stretches.
In just the last couple days he’s started walking over ten steps in a row.
Today even from one room into the next.
He walks with a lurch and some stiffness, but he’s pretty steady now.
Grandparents and his aunt and uncle have been taking him on longer walks by holding his hand and letting him practice his new skills.
His method for going down stairs is currently a barely controlled slide.
He cannot yet be on stairs without an adult spotting him.

He’s more like a toddler everyday.
