Walking!

Everyone has been telling me since you were about two months old that you would be walking before your first birthday and they were right. I was sort of thinking to myself that since you were on track with the crawling that you would be the same with walking. Nope, it has come early. Although you aren't proficient in it yet, I think it is safe to say you are doing it. A week after you turned 10 months (about 10 days ago) you walked from me to your Dad and took about six steps. Of course we tried to record this, but the attempts were futile. I did manage to get a video of you taking a few steps to Dad, but they weren't like the good solid steps you took when there was no camera on you. Then this week on Wednesday your Dad and I were both sitting on the couch resting (we were both sick, as were you) and we both managed to look up at the same time only to see you taking steps on your own to get to a toy! Even though it was only about three steps before you fell down, I do still count it since it was all on your own without being coerced. Good job baby boy! In the last day or so you have gotten quite brave and are constantly trying to take more and more steps on your own. I think by Christmas we may have a fairly good little waddler on our hands!
