Today was one of those monumental occasions that every parent loooks forward to. Andrew took his first steps! (He kinda faked us out on Sunday and took a lunging step forward as he grabbed onto my legs, but today was the real deal.)
He had been throwing magazines in the floor and I was moving him out of temptation's way. I sat him down on the other side of the room and when I let go, he took off after me. He took two very good steps. From the look on his face he knew he had done something exciting! I scooped him up and gave him a big hug and immediately put him back down to see if he'd do it again...and he DID! This time he took 4 steps. I was so excited that I was in tears. I called Drew and told him all about it. He was excited too. He had to work late tonight, so he'll have to wait and see Andrew's new trick tomorrow.
A couple of times throughout the rest of the afternoon, he took a couple more steps. His confidence is growing and he'll be running before we know it!
