Walking!!

Benjamin just stood up today and started walking across the living room toward me. I held my breath. When he got close to me, he leaped (literally) forward and crashed into my chest. I hugged and congratulated him, and he has been practicing ever since. I knew he had the ability over a month ago, when he started to stand alone for extended periods of time while throwing his balls or drinking his sippy cup; or when he pushed his car or truck around the house and sometimes forgot to hold on; or when he would take a few steps then immediately sit down (teasing me!) -- but he would not really do it for whatever reason. So I waited...patiently...and sure enough, my sweet baby boy walked for his mommy!!! Way to go Ben! Video soon to follow...
