Yesterday was rather exciting, especially since Daddy was home.
Over the last month, Ethan's been getting so much better and gaining more confidence at pushing off and standing all by himself for a couple of seconds, and transitioning from one object to the next (moving from coffee table to sofa or basket to toy shelf type of thing). Nothing much, but he's getting there slowly but surely.
I happened to be holding him by the waist while he was walking, just a little support to make him put more effort into keeping himself upright, when I gently let go and..... he kept walking!!!!!!! With enough momentum and Daddy to distract him, he just kept going all by himself for a couple more(4-5) tiny steps. It was sooo cute! I thought it was just a one-time dealy, but I got him to do it 3 more times yesterday. Seems like we are finally getting somewhere with the walking. Very exciting since he just loves to stand and patter around the house (chasing Gershwin or his toys) and seems to show absolutely no interest in crawling. It's been several months now since he started to 'step' so I'm thrilled that he's gaining confidence to step out on his own. Especially, since my back has started to hurt from all the stooping I have to do ;)
