The real trouble begins!

The lowercase took his very first step on Saturday. He fell attempting step #2, but there was a step there! A while later he managed two steps before falling on step #3. Sunday and today he attempted the look-Ma-no-hands two-step only once or twice.

He still prefers crawling and loses his balance easily (and quickly!) when standing without holding on to something.

But, I think we're on the edge of something huge here!

(Also, the lack of posting that has become even worse of late? My little one falls to pieces if I sit at my desk and I can't bear to make him cry. And if I pull out the laptop, he's convinced he needs to help which has resulted in keyboards having to be put back together hillbilly style and he managed to pull the power cord and break the connector to the motherboard -- my laptop is now held together by bits of paper clip and some scary electronics super-glue stuff. So, I can't really use it either as I don't think it can take much more!)

Comments about my post, "The real trouble begins!":

Mobility is SO scary! We are on the verge of crawling here and I don't know what I am going to do once that occurs. I have SO much babyproofing to do!

Congrats on the big steps! What wonderful news. And Blue is right, mobility is scary but then, after awhile, it's like they've been doing it forever.

And yes, now might be a good time to start the babyproofing in earnest if you haven't already. First steps were the kick in the pants that we needed in this house :-)

Hope everything else is going well!
