HOORAY! First steps! HOORAY!

For a couple months now, Iain has been walking a little bit with assistance. He loves it when two people hold his hands and let them walk between them, though he gets tired fairly quickly. Every now and then he'd take just one step without any support, but otherwise he hasn't shown very much interest in walking.

But tonight - only about 10 minutes ago - he walked across the room - about five steps - without any help at all! Papa got him started and Mama was on the receiving end. We were very proud of him! After the first time, in which he took the most steps, all he wanted to do was walk to Mama and Papa. He did it nearly a dozen times, back and forth, sometimes a bit better than others, but each time taking steps without any assistance at all. Our boy is growing up! As Mama said, he's not a baby anymore. And of course we're very proud of him.

The funniest thing about it is that he started crawling only a day or two after Jordan's family left from their visit in April, and now he's officially started walking just a day after my family left from their visit. Sorry, grandmas! We'll try to post some videos soon.

Aw, I can't believe how fast he's growing up!

I miss you all! :)
