One Foot In Front Of The Other

12/7/09 Silas took his first step. The days following he would take between one and four at a time. This phases lasted until about two weeks ago, and now....he's off! Walking all over the place. Thinking he can run....but when he starts going too fast he falls right on his hands.

And gets right back up and tries to start running again. It's really fun watching him wobble around. It's like he knew all along that walking was way more practical and all that practice finally paid off.He gets this proud grin on his face once he starts taking one step....two steps....three steps. I don't know if he is really proud of himself or if he knows that he's going to get a huge round of applause from us if he continues to walk.
He turns to watch me take his picture. He takes lots of little steps to face the other way, concentrating really hard.


And he's coming back. Mr. Classy...drool all over his shirt and his fly is open on his oversized pants. Nice!

He's concentrating a little more on getting that huge spoon in his mouth (that doesn't fit!) than walking.

And he's down!

Who knew walking was so exciting. Good job baby boy! Don't grow up too fast.
