try a boy who took his time to crawl and then quite satisfied with that showed no interest in walking, took his first steps today! lets just say i thought we'd be in for a bit of a wait for those first independent steps. how wrong i was. they came, just out the blue, like 'yeah mama so i took a few steps, no big shakes'.

no big shakes, are you kidding me?!

the fact it happened so nonchalant took me by surprise. then it was like wham my baby boy just took his first steps, and then of course there was lots of squealing (from me) and a quick scramble to find my phone to tell michael.

that was this morning, since coming home from a lovely day with friends, the boy has been on a roll. he's been doing quick bursts of a few steps everywhere and then joining in with my cheers (nothing wrong with a bit of self-congratulations, my boy ;) for his big finale he took a few steps in the bath...yeah mama wasn't so thrilled about this!

so did i get a picture of these specials moments? hell no, of course not. that would have been too perfect. instead i did take these, behold the camera kidnapper and aspiring gardener....


well done our clever boy. we are so proud of you ♥
