My little man is finally walking!
When did it start you may ask? That depends on what you qualify as walking. His first solo step was December 11, followed by another solo step on January 11. My boy has inherited a bit of molasses in his blood from his mom. I felt bad that Adam missed both of his steps, but Liam made it up to Adam by saving his first official walk for him.....and only him!
February 12, 2012 was the big day. We were in family yoga and I guess I was too "present" in my practice. We were in a big, empty, child-proof room, with a ton other babies to play with and herd of parents to help keep an eye on your child. Sometimes in these situations, where I feel my boy is safe and happy, I have the gift of being able to mentally check out and recharge...a cognitive nap if you will. Some call it mediating. I would occasionally look over and see Liam doing downward dog (which was really cute) and I would here Adam making a fuss over him. Later when we got home, I turned around to see Liam string a few steps together and then fall into downward dog (which is apparently what he had been doing earlier and I missed it every time!). Adam thought this was old news to me, but it was not! These little toddles were quite different than the weight change and face plant I had witnessed.
But now Li is walking everywhere! Just like a little T-Rex - booty out, little arms pulled tightly into his body. It is really cute! I posted a few videos for your viewing enjoyment.
