hand holding

Six months ago I never thought I would be able to write this, but Eddie is a total hand holder now. He used to want to go everywhere independently and would take off in ferocious intesity to explore new territory. Now, he is more reluctant, even more tentative and really likes to hold our hands. The other day we walked over to a friend's house and he held my hand the whole way. He will actually stop before we cross the street and reach up for my hand. I love it.
