GOAL!

Well, not really.
Not as in... he scored a soccer goal.

But, at Anna's opening soccer game this morning, John Michael was all smiles as he showed off his latest achievement of standing unsupported and taking 2 to 3 steps. To that, I say
"Goooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaallllllllll"


I'm guessing that by the end of soccer season, which will be John Michael's 2nd birthday, he'll be ready to kick the ball. That would be a fun goal to work toward!



John Michael loves to climb on Nic, who loves every minute of it!


Nic noticed that JM's ball, jersey and shorts are all Adidas. Now we just need to get Adidas to notice :-) I'm not sure if they have any kids with Down syndrome in their ads, but there's a first time for everything.
