2 Steps, 3 Steps, 6 Steps ...

So how many steps do you have to take to be considered a "walker"???! Well I'd say Blake's walking now!!! He's been taking 2 steps for a few weeks now, but today he's been very brave! He's taking around 6 or so steps! Maybe even a couple more the odd time!! I've heard that once they take those first few steps it's not long before they're running!! It's so cute - he stands up, stands there for a second, puts one foot out, then the other, then he speeds up a teeny tiny bit! He's definitely feeling more confident now! He's so cautious though, it's kind of funny :) His balance is so good, he stands and "dances" and reaches for things and squats, etc. He can definitely walk, but he wants to make sure it's perfect first!! At least that's what it seems like to me! Yesterday he turned 14 months old and apparently the average age for a child to walk is between 13 and 15 months, so I told my Mom he just wants to be totally "average"! Ha, ha, ha! So I just wanted to share the big walking news!!! I'm going to try and post a video of Blake walking on Facebook if I can! Hope everyone had a great weekend!
