I've been wanting him to start walking for quite some time now. Even though he took a few steps on his own several months ago... he's never really "walked" until now. I've been told that you can't force it on your child either. As much as I wanted him to start walking, I knew that it had to be on his time. However, I knew he was getting close... especially last night. See, I was sitting on the couch watching him play last night... and it was then that I saw him go from sitting on his butt to pushing himself up to the standing position. He has NEVER done that before! Every time he tried in the past, he would end up doing a somersault! So, last night, I knew we were definitely close to walking. I just didn't realize it would be so soon... or in fact, the next day!
It happened like this. Gabe and I were at Mama and Papa's house today. My mom, Gabe, and I were all in the living room... Gabe was playing and climbing in and out of the magazine box. All of the sudden, he pushed himself up, just like he did last night. He took a few steps. And then he did it again. Taking more steps this time. And again, and again, and again! We were screaming and clapping for him! Gabe even clapped for himself too! We could tell that he was just as thrilled as we were! Of course, Mommy took several videos of this as well!
I am so proud of my Little Big Boy!
