One Week Later

As any parent before me will readily agree, I just can't believe how fast Max - or any baby for that fact - progresses. One day you are bringing home a squished up little bundle of cute, a little bit later arms and legs start flailing sparatically, random noises come along, and now almost 1 year later Max has OFFICIALLY taken his first steps. Just last week we could barely get him to raise his foot and then yesterday Jason and I were sitting on the floor a few feet away from each other and he set Max down, made sure he was balanced and Max would walk to me - about 3 steps. Then I'd turn him around, balance, and back to daddy he'd go, laughing, wobbling and grinning from ear to ear. He did this about 5 or 6 times...it was exhilerating to see his confidence grow and to watch how excited he was about his new ability. At this rate, he should be ready to show off for his 1st Birthday coming up!
