It's official...

...the boy can walk!

Just before his 14 month birthday, little c has amazed us by walking. It seems like it happened really fast too. We were just at our friends' house a week ago when little c showed off with his 3 steps. They told us it wouldn't be long before he was walking everywhere and they were right. Yesterday he pushed his Thomas the Train engine around the house. He would push it away from him and then walk to it, looking at us for our approval. I was so elated I pulled out the chicken dance from Arrested Development (Lindsay's chicken dance, not Gob's).

He's walking everywhere now and it's a little strange to see him crawl, although he still likes to crawl on the red shag carpet in the basement because it's so cushy on his knees. Plus he's a swinger.

So we're up to our eyeballs in celebration on Bryan Avenue. Would it be weird to throw a party to 
celebrate? Maybe I'll just bake cupcakes instead. And make him a shirt. And sew a garland. And have just a couple of friends over to watch him walk. 
 
 
He's blurry because he's moving so fast. Good thing we have about a million videos taken over the course of 2 days.

 

 
Our little walker!

And yes, we are fully aware that our life will change now that he's even more mobile. But it's a change we're really thrilled about, seeing as how excited little c is with this newfound freedom. Words we may regret in a month's time. We'll see. But for now, we're just going to keep giving him positive reinforcement, avoid trying to catch him when he's falling, and doing the chicken dance to celebrate this milestone!
