Fully Mobile

Blake is walking!

It's been awhile since I posted and there are two reasons for this:

1. In a teacher's life report cards suck up way too much time and energy and leave very little time for fun stuff and we've just made it through report card week - phew.

2. I've been wanting to write about the biggest news around our house and include a picture, but every time we pull out a camera, the little guy stops walking, drops on to his bottom and crawls like mad towards the camera, hoping to get it in his little hands.

I finally got a photo today:

So here's how it all happened.

On the last day of school we all went upstairs to Elaine's house for a drink. For the first time ever Blake let go of the table and stood on his own. He stood for a few seconds and then slowly sank to the floor. After much fussing and cheering, I called Scotty and he came up to see the incredible standing baby.

Then, maybe a week later, just before Christmas, Blake took his first steps in our apartment. They were very cautious little steps and from one table to another. Gradually he's gotten braver and braver and now he's walking all over the place. What a super star!
