Put one foot in front of the other
On Friday, January 8, 2010 Caleb took his first steps unassisted! I was several feet away when I held my arms out to him. Instead of letting go of the table and crawling to me, like he usually does, Caleb let go and took five steps right into my arms! Now, just over two weeks later, he can do this:
Whenever we walk around on campus together, Caleb has to stop to inspect flecks in floor tiles, fossilized gum, cement tree planters, soggy grass, remaining clumps of snow, etc. While I enjoy his excitement and sense of exploration most of the time, I kind of miss the days when I could set him on a blanket for a minute and know he'd still be there when I came back!
