I tried to put the video of the actual event on this post for you to see, but I just can't get it to work for me. :( But life moves on...
Two days after his birthday, 2.0 started walking. It was an epic event.
There was very little warning. He's been taking tentative steps for a week or so now and he's been cruising (walking while holding on to either furniture or the wall or the entertainment center or anything else he can hold on to) since he was about nine months old. It was only a matter of time.
Saturday we had a lot of visitors. My grandmother came up with my uncle, aunt, and 13 year old cousin, my mom came out for the weekend, and my brother and sister-in-law drove three hours to see 2.0 for his birthday. If you're keeping track, that's ten people in my two bedroom apartment. We then had 2.0's honorary aunt Kelly come out to see him as well. That's eleven. Thank goodness I had cleaned like a crazy person the day before.
We're all sitting around talking and playing with 2.0 when he decides to walk from his grandma to his daddy holding on to Grandma's hands. Then he just...let's go. And keeps walking. Then he turns around, laughing and screaming excitedly, and walks back. Then back to his daddy. Then to his great grandma. Then to his great uncle. Then to Auntie Kelly. Then to his mother. Then he stuck his finger in the air like it was the days of disco, threw his head back, struck a pose, and fell to his butt. We got all five minutes of it on tape.
The next day, he did it again. Today he did it again. I guess it's the real deal. My son is a toddling toddler.
Now I have to re-baby proof everything.
