new shoes

Alex got some new shoes this weekend!

These are stage 2 striderite shoes. He needed new shoes becuase the Robeez leather shoes weren't cutting it anymore now that he's walking. He is going out on the playground with the big kids (1-2yr olds) and playing on the wet grass. The leather shoes get wet!

So, $45 later - voila! And size 5! Is it totally insane that an 11 month old has size 5 shoes? I don't know the shoe sizes of other 11 month olds - but it sure seems big to me!

It took him about 30 minutes to figure out how to walk with these new bigger shoes. Then, he was off and walking about as if nothing had happened.
