Our little Mover

Last Friday Ken and I were playing a simple game of "walk the baby", you know when you sit down facing each other and try to get the baby to walk by passing him back and forth. Well Kevin get's REALLY excited when we try to play this game, so excited his feet start moving so fast it's almost impossible to play but we kept on it. Last Friday was different, Ken had him and it was his turn to walk him to me. Kevin decided to let go of his daddy's hands, stand still and then we watched as our adorable not quite 11 months old baby boy took his first steps. It was an unaided whole step and a half he took that day. I think it wore him out because for the rest of the week we received no other steps. But on Friday, a week later as Kevin and I were at work, he decided to independently walk. He was holding on to the coffee table and circling it like he usually does, I was sitting on the couch watching him and I stuck my hands out just to see what he would do. He LET GO of the table and walked right to me. TWO whole steps. When we got home that night it was like the walking switch had been turned on and he couldn't get enough. Now not only will he let go of our hands to walk to each other but if he is standing holding onto something he will just casually let go and start walking. It's amazing!! We tried catching his walking on video but he seemed to get camera shy, so I hid it and waited. So here is our little mover in action.
