One small step for Little Man...

I am such a proud Mommy that my Little Man finally took his very first step today!  I know he had to do it in his own timing and I didn't want to push and rush because that just causes resistance.  We've been practicing and he's been "this close" for so long; I think he's been holding out on us. :)  I swear he did that with his crawling; he army crawled for the longest time, even though we knew he could crawl on his hands and knees.  He probably figured, "If this works for me and I'm faster this way, so there's absolutely no need for me to do it another way."  I think that's where he is now with the walking [although I will give him that he can crawl at super speeds :) ]. If he even feels you starting to let go, he gets instant jelly legs.  He amazes me with how quickly he catches on.  I can imagine him thinking, "They think they're gonna trick me by letting go of my hand for me to walk on my own like they did the first time?  I'll show them. I'm gonna not do it on purpose."  I would not be surprised if he just took straight to running and forewent the walking aspect altogether.  I can imagine there will probably be days when he gets older that I'll want him to sit and be still but for now I'll cherish this accomplishment and the chases that will ensue with those little pitter-pattering feet.
