One Giant Leap

Or practically a face plant if you ask me.  My precious baby has embarked on the final of the major milestones today; 'walking'.  I'm adding quotation marks for the fact that he isn't officially walking by the standards that most of us upright individuals.  I think of walking as putting one foot in front of the other and  keeping the vertical position as long as you can.  Apparently when babies 'walk' they act like they are moments from falling (which they are) and finally use their legs to try to keep them from toppling face-first into a loving parent's arms. This is really a thrilling event as your child is once their own and once again mobility will make mommy even more tired.
