Walking...

Last night was full of surprises...
First, after a week of taking only a couple of steps once or twice a day, last night he decided to try to walk everywhere first, before crawling. It was so much fun to watch him take slow, steady steps and even steady himself back up when he got going too fast and was about to fall down.

Then, while I finished up at the computer last night and he was playing on the floor, I said, "Fender, are you ready for a bath?" And next thing I know, he's crawled into the bathroom and is standing at the bathtub ready to jump in.

And as if that wasn't cool enough, he even helped by lifting each of his own legs so I could get his shorts off so he could take the bath. Prior to this moment, there has been zero help getting bottoms on or off. He seemed completely oblivious in that regard. But he has helped get his shirts on and off for as long as I can remember! I'd say from at least five months on, maybe earlier.

So in one night, our boy grew up so fast. I can't imagine what will be next... stay tuned...
