Event: FIRST STEPS!!!!

Yep! You heard it here first!

well if you don't count the call to my mom,
or my text messages,
or facebook

In an attempt to keep working on his walking skills I pulled up Alex to his feet and held on to his little hands to help him walk, but I tricked him, let go and instead of him standing for few seconds and then falling like he usually does...

he took three steps!

Whoo Hoo!

I then squeeled for joy, called Chris into the room and we replayed the event!

I can't really explain the overwhelming joy that has come over me.

I am just so proud of the little guy!

Just thinking about it gives me this big stupid grin. he he

I can't wait to take him outside, and to the zoo, and to all of those other fun walking things!

Go Team Xander!

So today we kept practicing and at one point he got up to four steps!

On a side note: The clapping is new too -
he seemed to really take off with that one today as well!

I know that things will never be the same, but I don't care....

Every little step is awesome, cause it means we are going forward!
