So much for maintaining my blog...whoops. So the big news around here is that our little small fry has started to walk! By no means is he running marathons or anything but as of last Monday night he had started to take his first steps. They were small timid steps and only 2 to start with but they did happen. He is now able to do 6 or 7 steps unasissted. His balance has improved remarkably in the last week. All of this thrills us of course, but even better then watching him walk is the look on his face. He knows that he has successfully accomplished this task, he looks so proud when he smiles at you. I know every parent defines infant to toddler differently, for me walking is it. He is now officially a toddler, thank goodness a toddler who has yet to learn how to say "NO".
Unfortunately with this new skill has come his first bleeding nose. The truth is it was more of a two drops of blood and done nosebleed, but still Im sure it hurt. Having a little adventurer for a child I anticipate there will be many more injuries to come.
Although easy to over look compared to walking, but still important, the little one has also learnt how to descend stairs in a backwards crawl. Again not that exciting but still an accomplishment for him and one we are just as proud of!
