Travelin' Man

September 7, 2009...The day our little boy took his first steps!

It was just a typical Monday, I didn't know Case would be taking his first steps that day, and I have to admit I almost missed it!

Monday mornings are pretty lazy for us. We wake up, I feed him his breakfast in a bottle, and we watch his favorite morning cartoons.

Well, this Monday was a little more exciting! He's been cruising on the furniture for a while, but all of a sudden while pulled up on the ottoman, (I just happened to glance up) he just took off walking into the middle of the room! It was very wobbly and it only lasted about two steps but I can't explain the amount of excitement and pride I felt for our little man!

I called his Daddy right away, and had to leave him a voicemail...However, I wasn't convinced it was his true steps for some reason, but my sister insisted I write down the date, and I'm so glad I did! For some reason I thought it was just a fluke moment, that he didn't really know how to walk yet...but he has been practicing and practicing! He's getting better and better! In fact, just last night he walked about four or five feet across the room without falling! He's so funny too, he walks with his hands straight up over his head, in little fists with a big smile on his face! I love it!
I'm also pretty excited that I can officially say Mr. Case started walking before his 1st birthday! Wow! Speaking of...the big birthday party is only 5 days away, and the actual 1st birthday is only 8! I know every mother or parent says this, but man is it true. Time really does fly once you have a child. It has been such a beautiful and wonderful year, I'm sure I will get all sappy and emotional on the official birthday blog, so I'll leave it for that...
Just so proud of our little walker!
