Elijah took his first steps!
Yesterday actually, while my mom was watching him. I was at work - so I missed them.
But, alas, he has graciously done it again for me. Just 4 at a time or so. But they are indeed big boy steps. Oh, my little rascal is getting too big for his britches! [sniffs]
I am such a proud momma.
As the story goes... He was doing his usual walk around and around and around my mom's padded coffee table. He decided he wanted something on another table, so off he went. And by the time he realized what he had done it was too late!
He's quite good at free standing now too. So when I hold his hands, then let go, he stands there and claps for himself. This is quite the accomplishment, you know. And every once in a while, he'll take a few little steps forward. Mostly he likes to walk sideways - like a crab. This is what he's used to when walking along walls, tables, etc. So it comes more naturally that way.
Tonight he got yet another haircut. This time my dad absolutely lost his mind and cut it WAY too short for my liking. He used the biggest guard on the clippers, but its still so short in the front. Last time we "buzzed" the back and sides, and used scissors on the front. He looks like a kid... I mean, a big ol', grown up KID. Daggoneit! There are pictures and I'm sure I'll post some soon.
Right now my husband is NOT playing video games [gasp], and wants to hang out with me [double gasp!] and have a mini-date night. What is in the air? Other than frost and stinking winter, that is. So, off to cuddle on the couch I go! Yippee. :)
