First steps....

Derek has been wanting Ollie to walk for about 5 months now and he finally got his wish!  Ollie took several steps this afternoon.  They were very wobbly and he is no where near ready, but, there steps!

Here is the link:

I can hardly believe he is old enough to start walking.  Where did my little man go?

I remember when Evie  took her first steps.  She was 18 months old.  I had gone to the bathroom and she followed me, crawling down the hall.  I was sitting there, in all my glory on the toilet when she decided to stand, walk the 5 steps to me and then sit down!  I was so excited that I screamed. It scared her, of course and I had to hold her and calm her down.  She didn't walk again for 4 days.  I think I traumatized her.

My children are growing up.  Why can't they just be babies forever????
