Houston, we have a walker

It's true, folks, our dear sweet Bubs has decided to start walking.

AHHHHHH!

He's been on the verge of independent walking for some time now. He first cruised around on his tootsies clinging to anything that provided any sort of stability for him. Then he realized he could let go for a second and balance on his own. Then he realized he could take about 2 steps before crashing forward. Then one day it happened.

He took more than 2 steps without crashing.
He moved slowly, checking his balance every couple steps.
He took enough steps to travel the length of our (very small) kitchen.
Then he figured out how to move from sitting to standing to walking without holding onto anything.

And then he walked across our living room.

Now he's walking all over the place.

I think he still prefers crawling since he's better at it.
But he knows what's up when it comes to walking, thought he's still working on long distance trips.
And he walks like he's had a few too many cold ones.

It's oh so dang cute.

Since when did he get so big?

  4. Wow it seems that he figured it out all at once. Grant could walk for about 3 months before he figured out how to stand up from sitting with out holding onto anything. Sooo cute! I think that was my favorite milestone.
