Big Steps

For quite a while now Brody has been figuring out his limits. He pulls himself up to standing and then holds onto the furniture and walks around it. He will move the dining room table chairs all over (and I have scratched floors to prove it), and he'll even hold onto the wall as he walks from one room to another.

BUT....finally this week, Tuesday, July 7th, Brody took his first real steps! It was so exciting, and slightly bittersweet because our BABY is now becoming a TODDLER! It seems so crazy.

Just one week shy of being 11 months and the little man is walking. He definitely still prefers to crawl, but he is getting braver by the hour. At first we could only get him to walk when we had him walk back and forth to us, but today he is letting go of us or furniture and walking off by himself. We just cannot believe it!
