Walking Boy

It started with a couple steps here and there, before the Road Trip. Then he was wobbling between the couch and the TV stand. Now he's tottering from one end of the room to the other, moving in circles, and getting more steady on his feet each day.

On Saturday, we put sandals on him for the first time and took him outside. He would not walk. He just looked at his feet as if they were alien beings and sat down. Once we took off the sandals, he was up and moving. And I got my first taste of chasing the Boy away from oncoming traffic.

His birthday is Sunday. I can't believe it has been an entire year. My tiny baby is such a big boy already. He is the sweetest, brightest thing I've ever known.

I am not ready for him to stop being a baby!
