First steps
Daniel took his first real steps today.
He's been cruising for ages now. He's been finger-walking for more than a month, he was doing not too bad at it before I went back to work and he went to daycare. He'd been there maybe a week before I saw him doing the whole finger-walking-with-only-one-finger thing.
But today, right after supper, the four of us were hanging out in the living room. Christine was on the futon, I was on the floor, James was doing something and Daniel was at the play table when he turned around and decided he was just going to walk over to Christine. Three really solid, deliberate, confident steps completely hands-free.
We were suitably impressed. So much so that even James started saying "Daniel walked", but I don't think he really got the import of the event.
Three steps was nowhere near enough for him, though, once he'd figured out how to make it work. Before he went to bed he had one little walk that took him from the powder room almost to the play table, probably ten completely unassisted steps.
That's all I've got. It's been an exciting day.
