Today is the day my little man took his first steps! I know, I know, this picture isn't of that, however, I think it totally captures all of the mischievous mayhem that is to come once he really masters his moves. Look at that face! He had just plopped down for a quick rest on his belly since that's what mommy was doing. Even still, I can see how much he wants to just go go go! So how did it happen, you ask? Well. It was a miracle that I got to see it. I was in his room changing the sheets on his crib and I had set him down to play. There is a baskety-shelfy-thing that holds a bunch of toys. He was sitting in front of this thing just looking at it when he decided it was time to pull all of the toys down! (his favorite pastime) So...he balanced on his feet - which he does all the time - and just popped up to standing! He's done this once or twice but not a lot so it caught my attention. Then I watched as he looked at me and then back to the toys. He held his little hand out and shuffled his left foot....................and then his right foot. TWO STEPS!!! Out of the blue...chasing something he wanted....just like I knew he would. This little boy has his own ideas about things, that's for sure. No one is going to tell him when and how to walk. He'll just pop up and take off when he's ready. Am I ready? Guess we'll find out soon enough!!!
Today, this is life as I know it! -A
