Stepping On Out

Owen has been trying to find the courage (and the balance) to take some real first steps. He has been walking using anything still to walk for about a month or so. We've been waiting. During the past week we noticed that look in his face...wondering if he should try and trying to figure out exactly how to go about it. I was watching him tonight and called Chris over to try to get him to come to me. Sure enough, he took 3 solid steps!! Later tonight after I had him out of his bath I was sitting on the floor in his room while he rooted around in the bins under the changing table when he turned around, gave me a toothy grin and went about 4 or 5 steps to me. I have mixed feelings about his walking. I am so excited for him and for all of us .... this soggy weather has made it hard with a crawler so I'm excited to see him up and going for it. However, I also know that my baby is growing up way to fast and that time will not stand still long enough for me to enjoy more of my baby. Now I am on a mission to get it one video!!
