Well we finally gave in. All recent research says that walkers are bad, they develop the wrong leg muscles and actually hinder infant walking rather than help it. Oh well! Since Sean isn't showing any interest in standing or pulling himself up, we thought a walker would be a good way to show him how much fun it could be. He seems to love it... he makes this funny laugh/squeal the whole time. I just hope our furniture can hold up ;)

Naturally big babies
We're really starting to see how flexible Sean is and his lack of interest in standing. Last night in one of my weekly emails, I saw this:
"Naturally big babies—children who are clearly going to become tall and big-boned adults—sometimes take a little longer to learn to walk. They just have that much more body to learn to operate. In addition, large babies can be a little extra flexible in their joints and ligaments. They simply need to let their muscles grow a little stronger to control their joints and limbs well enough to walk steadily."
Interesting!
This weekend we went to a 1st birthday party for Sean's friend Ethan. The party was a lot of fun and Ethan is SO NICE... he hugged and kissed Sean a lot. It was so cute - like they decided they would be best friends for ever and ever. I don't think he quite understood why Sean didn't want to run around with him though :)
