Stepping Out
Squid took his first steps today! He’s been standing alone and balancing himself pretty well for about a month now, and has tried to step forward before. The furthest he’s gotten is one or one and a half steps before he falls on his butt again. I haven’t really considered these attempts his “first steps” because he hasn’t really traveled any distance. But today, he actually moved forward 4 steps! I think he might have gone further had I not been so close. As soon as he realized he could just fall forward in my arms, he did just that. I’m so proud of him! I wish I had it on tape, but I’ll try for next time. Yay, Squid!

Lol they are soo cute when they do that. It took me forever to get Evan to stop falling into my arms.

Wish I could have been there to see this most miraclous moment! Soon he’ll be walking right on over to choose the “vinyl” to suit his mood! What a big boy he’s gotten to be and it’s happened so fast!!!

He wants to be able to impress the guests at his upcoming party! Go Squid! :)

Ok, I think a baby or toddler walking is about the most adorable thing next to seeing them run, but I have to admit, there is a part of me that gets a little “weirded out” seeing such a small person walking around. Silliness, I know, especially when I love it so!
Big cheers for this milestone!!
