Bipedalism

Today is the day. The Boy is up and walking.

He's been teasing us with 2 or 3 steps here or there since the middle of December. And it was no different this morning, just a couple steps until he realized 'I'm better off on the ground.' And then within an hours time: I was holding one arm lightly and he took a dozen steps, then he stood up and squatted down to pick something up and stood up again before turning around and handing it to me, then he took a dozen steps to John, and then he just stood himself up and walked across the house.

It is very sweet to see such a young boy have a such a sincere sense of accomplishment and pride in himself.
