So for those of you who aren't on facebook, let me bring you up to speed. This morning we left Serif in the nursery at church. When I went to pick him up, the lady says to me, "I didn't know he was walking!". I looked at her with bugged eyes and said, "What!?! I didn't know that either!". It was mixed emotion for both of us. I was sad that I missed it and she was sad that she told me I missed it!
Well, we've spent the entire afternoon trying to get a good video, only to realize he's still not taking off quite yet. He's doing the same thing he was doing yesterday. Let me back up just a little bit more.
Month 10 was great and I thought for sure he was going to walk. He never did, but when month 11 hit, he began standing up by himself and would do squats like he was preparing his little legs for a big run. He would push his walker toy on the rug, but as soon as hit the hardwood it would get away from him. This past week, he took off with the walker toy even on hardwood! He also started standing up and teetering with one foot like he was going to walk. I think it was Monday that he took one step towards me and then on Wednesday, I took him to my work to see people and he took 3 quick steps! The past couple of days, he's been taking these little steps and then lunging himself towards us. It's amazing to watch his balance progress in just the matter of a few hours!
Anyways, I guess this morning at church, he was standing by the crib when he decided to let go and take some steps. She said he was slow and payed close attention to his balance at each step. We've been working with him all day to see how far he would go, but a few steps are all we're getting right now. Sorry to those of you who have been waiting and waiting for this post. I really thought I was going to get to share a video of him walking across the entire living room. Oh well, this what you get . . . for now. I'm sure you'll be getting that video shortly! Yay Serif! We love you! You are SO much fun to watch grow!
