First Steps!

Ian took his first independent steps today! He was walking along with his push toy when all of a sudden he let go and took three steps towards his farm. He didn't even fall over when he reached the farm, he just crouched down and started playing with the animals. It was as if he didn't even realize what he'd just done.

Earlier in the day he took a step here or there when he'd let go of one object and take a step without holding anything until he was close enough to reach another object for support. Today is the first day he's done that, so hopefully we'll be seeing some progress on the walking front from now on.

The steps are very elusive and happen too quickly and unpredictably to catch on camera right now. We'll keep trying, but in the meantime here is Ian's Infant graduation photo that he got along with a certificate when he moved out of the Infant room and in with the Toddlers.
