Not walking (and that’s ok): Video Love Letter #2
My son turns one in a week. I don’t really want to dwell on that sad fact right now. I’m hanging on to his last bit of babyhood before he starts walking and turns into a toddler.
People frequently ask me if he’s walking yet and I’m happy to say he’s not. Been there, done that, no thank-you, I can wait.
Here’s my second video love letter (first to my son) talking about his life since he’s learned how to cruise around, and my reluctance towards his first steps. I promise you won’t be disappointed. I think I may like this one even more than my daughter’s.
Warning: Don’t watch if you don’t want kids
Four videos in two weeks. I’m on a vlogging role here with no plans to stop. Though I am thinking I may not share every single video on my blog, so be sure to subscribe to my YouTube page to keep up to date. I’ve never had so much fun with home videos. Something as simple as the joy of watching my son play (and make a huge mess) in the morning is now something I can re-watch and remember years from now.
Take a moment this next week to record play time in your home.

I’ve been buying his diapers using Amazon Prime since before he was born, and Big T plays hard and comfortably while wearing his Pampers Cruisers now in sizes 3-7.

Very sweet video. 🙂 I love that you captured your son’s first time crawling.
Aw.. Jennifer, this is SO SO precious. I love it and all these videos!
I love you Love Letter videos to your children. It’s such a brilliant idea and something they can cherish forever!
I love pampers swaddlers!
Awwww I love this video and I love your other video love letter for your daughter. I am so excited to capture my first video of our son during his playtime this week. He just started laughing and I gotta get it on video next time. Thanks for sharing your life. The way you make memories is amazing!
My oldest didn’t wall until 17monthd but was a speed crawler. My youngest started at 12.5 months. The pediatrician said the longer they crawl the stronger their backs and they will have better posture:)
Very nice video! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Your videos are always SO adorable! That’s definitely not a talent I have, but I totally want to try anyway. 🙂
So sweet! Happy birthdaybig T! 😀
What a sweet video! With our 1st I couldn’t wait for each milestone, and wanted my son to walk so bad… then our second came along and I realized how fast they grow up and was not nearly as excited for her to start walking… of course they do eventually but I learned to enjoy each milestone!
I can’t believe he’s already one! That’s insane! Happy birthday!
Sweet video! Happy 1st birthday, big guy! Thanks for the giveaway 🙂
I have recorded TONS of playtime and other milestones, just need to assemble them into something beautiful! Thanks for the inspiration!
I agree with you in letting them go at their own pace, no rush! Time really does move quickly, so enjoy the ride! I enjoy your blog and your talent and passion is reflected in your storytelling.
My daughter skipped walking and went straight to running haha :] Happy Birthday to your baby boy and thanks for the giveaway!
I LOVE Pampers diapers and wipes!!! They are my favorites!!!!
What an amazing video! I agree… No need to hurry. Your children are so cute!
Aww, I know how you feel about the no rush to walk! BUT my 8 month old is already trying..I DISLIKE this part…and I think his development and motivation are so accelerated by his big bro…:( That being said, I’ve got 2 in diapers and we’re a pampers family all the way, so whatever a month’s supply is…we would certainly use it!! 🙂
I am ok if my youngest decides to wait too!
My daughter turns 1 next week and I can’t see her walking for another month at least. My son walked at 11 months. I am totally fine with her pace!
Would love some diapers!
I have 2 in diapers. I definitely need this! Thanks for the giveaway!
That would be fantastic!
I love Pampers!!! That’s all that my baby wears. And I agree, I’m not in a hurry for my 7 month old to be mobile!
What a cutie my daughter didnt walk until 13.5 mth
What a lovely video! Don’t tell anyone, but my eyes were a bit wet by the end. My baby is six months and I’ve been following your blog since I first discovered I was pregnant.
I can’t believe he is almost one! Time went by fast! Don’t worry, babies start walking when “they” want to.
Continue to be amazed with your talents!
Happy birthday to him! I’ve got 3 in diapers so… yeah this would be awesome.
So sweet! My baby is 13-1/2 months and he’s not walking either. My first didn’t do it regularly until 16 months! I thought this one had a head start, but then he got sick and now he seems to have lost interest. I’d like to have the option for him to walk next to me, but I probably shouldn’t be in a rush since he’s my last!
Will be a great gift for my future nephew.
Love video. Mother of twins, need diapers pls
My almost 1 year old isn’t walking yet either. He is our 4th child, so like you, I have been there, done that, and am not in any hurry to hear the pitter patter of little feet scurrying down our hall. I love him just being my little baby.
I love your blog, I’ve been following you since we were both pregnant this last time. I think I had google something about swollen pregnant feet when I found you.
I can’t believe he’s almost one! Winning diapers would be an amazing help with my little one.
Another amazing video love letter!! I think they are both beautiful and can’t WAIT to make my first one to my little man. 🙂
Sign me up for some Pampers action!! I wish mine was potty trained… but alas – we’re still in diapers. And they are NOT cheap man! I subscribed to your YouTube channel. Love it already. 🙂 Keep it up!
My oldest walked around 12-13 months, but my next 2 were closer to 14-15 months 🙂
We are on a cloth diaper break here with 2 in diapers (23 months and 9 wks) so a month’s supply of Pamper’s would be awesome!
So amazing… teach me your ways! 🙂
I give birth to my first child in August 2014, so the timing of this gift–if we’re so lucky– would be perfect! I’ve followed your blog quietly for a while now–I’m usually not one to post, but have always enjoyed reading the creative content. 🙂
Beautiful letter! I notice a lot of #2s (or later) are slower to walk than the first child, but my brother, the youngest of 4 and the only boy, walked the earliest (around 9 months!). I’m interested to see what happens with my #2 . . .
Happy birthday!
We are expecting #3 in about 5 weeks. Our first two were both walking by 10 months, I am so with you on being okay with this Littles taking her time!
How sweet! I would love to record my kids more, I just wish I knew how to edit the videos. Will you be doing any posts on that?
I only use Papers swaddlers. They are the best!
Too cute! I watched your video with my almost 11 month old son and he kept yelling “yay” as Big T crawled around! Boys are the sweetest!
You are too talented. I need to start taking more videos. Thanks for the sweet inspiration!
Very cute! Love the video! Your kiddos are too cute!
I love looking over my videos on my phone of my children playing. They are on the computer too but I like I can watch them while I’m taking a break at work. Maybe someday I will be able to edit them down into a cute montage…
I love your vlogs and your little ones are so cute!
I love seeing how you edit videos for your children! Thank you for the giveaway too!
I’ve never understood why people *want* their kids to walk early. They are so much easier when they are relatively stationary.
But you have to admit, they are cute when they start walking and look like drunk, little zombies.
Your video was adorable! My second daughter turns one this week and I am having a hard time losing my “baby”. I could use some free diapers though!
Que lindo, gracias for sharing, first time papa here, and getting ideas for mi Lily.
Great idea! Please enter me in the Pampers giveaway 😀
Happy Birthday to your little one! Thanks for entering me into the giveaway.
Such a cute video! I don’t want my son to walk yet either. He’s only seven months, but he’s been pulling up and practicing balancing non-stop for the past couple of weeks. It’s amazing how fast they learn and grow!
I have been married for the past 3years without a child i have look for all kind of help that can make me get pregnant but nothing works, but through an insight i came across Dr.BABA profile at the internet when i was searching for help on how i can get pregnant Quickly i contacted him to help me out, he said he will cast a spell that will make me get pregnant, he cast the spell for me and ask me to go and have sex with my partner so i did to my greatest surprise i became pregnant after some weeks, with so much joy in my heart i want to share this out to everyone in need that i have found favor in the hands of DR.BABA, contact him now to via email : fertilitysolutiontemple@live.com or on mobile number on:+2349036348369,Casey Deborah.
