He walks!!
Antoinette:
We are so excited. Daniel (14 Months) took his first steps on the weekend. I really thought he was still too wobbly on his feet to walk, but off he went. Over the last 3 days he has been fine tuning his style. He gets ready… gets his balance…has a little bounce…lets go… arms in the air …and walks. I am amazed at the control he has achieved in his balance over the last few days. At first it was 2 or 3 steps. Today he walked from the front door to the kitchen wich is at least 10 Baby Steps. Another milestone reached!!! One small twinge of sadness though. I use my Baby Sense sling to get around with him on a daily basis. Where ever we have been in the last few days I have taken him out of the sling to have a little walk. He is so pleased with his new found skill that he doesnt want to go back in the sling. Does this mean my slinging days are coming to an end? I hope not. With Dan in the sling we are so close. It has been his (and my) favourite place to be since he was born.
