Baby steps

I know kids will do things when they are ready, but we have been unpatiently waiting for Kobe to take his first steps. He just about runs when he is walking along things. He needed to gain some confidence in the fact that he was okay and could actually do this. On December 12, he took his first real steps. (not accidental steps b/c he was falling...ha) He walked 4-6 steps in between Mom and Dad. We thought, "Look out now." He sit was quite reserved. He would walk between people but that was it. On the 18th, he finally walked 2-3 feet without anyone else in the room. Again we thought, "Look out now." He didn't really do much walking during the day at daycare. What in the world?! On the 20th, he walked the length of the living room. On the 21st, he was just starting to take a few steps at daycare. Last night we traveled for Christmas. We picked him up from daycare and put him in his carseat for the drive. When we got to our destination, this little boy walked...and walked...and walked. He walked more last night than we have ever seen. It is safe to say he is walking more than crawling. He is so funny to watch as he balances himself with his arms in the air. He is so proud and so happy with his new view. Now we have a new level of "trouble." :)
