The Last Baby Milestone

It finally happened! Last night, Patrick took his first steps. He hesitantly toddled two steps between our recliner and the couch where I was. He acted totally nonchalant about the whole event, as though he knew all along he would be able to walk on his own. I, however, was elated with excitement.

He hasn't repeated the feat yet, but I'm sure he will soon, now that we know he can. It's crazy to think that with this one milestone, he has officially joined the rank of other toddlers. As long as I've waited for this, I don't think I'm ready for it now. My baby is a toddler! Within weeks, as his confidence in his walking skills grows, I will be chasing him all over the house. It won't be the fairly relaxed pace I can assume right now as he crawls around, but a full-out run to catch him running. What fun times we have ahead of us!

I have another post I'm working on right now. I'll probably either post it tonight or tomorrow. You'll love it; it includes another short video.
