We think John is old enough and Mama is also starting to be ready, so today I took some baby steps toward getting some alone time. First I jogged on the treadmill while John napped and Chris listened via the baby monitor, and when I finished Chris took John for a walk around the block while I stayed home! John was fine and I was fine, which is just how we all wanted it.
Speaking of baby steps, John is really walking now. In the last four days, he transitioned quickly from the tottering steps he's been taking for weeks to fully walking. He'll confidently walk across a room. Even if there is furniture right there, he does not cruise along it but walks by himself. It's amazing!
Wow he is so fast!!!! SOOOOO adorable!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Elaine!
ReplyDeleteYes, let's all focus on how adorable John is and quietly ignore his mama's stupid baby talk voice.
FYI: John doesn't even fall like that very often. I don't know why he sat down/fell three times in the same spot. In the last few days, he seems to get where he wants to go without much incident!
That top picture of John is fantastic! I just love the grin on his face.
ReplyDeleteHooray for walking!!!
(..and cheers to some quite Mommy time)
For some reason, this post just brought tears to my eyes! I think it's just so beautiful how you're experiencing all these amazing moments for the first time. Simply a piece of heaven on earth - that JOY!!
ReplyDeleteHow God must beam for JOY when we take those baby steps toward Him!
Shelly: You're so sweet! That's nice that you can still cry over a baby's first walking after you've had seven!
ReplyDeleteEven in the several days since this post, John's walking has improved. He walks everywhere! And with great speed! Of course, he's also falling more again because of his new motor skill. Many tears and head bonks, poor little guy.
