A New Year's Eve Milestone!

Trevor has taken his first "real" steps! Yippee Bear!

I say "real" steps because he had taken many small sets of steps this past month...but they were all the ~super encouraged, come to me, here's a toy, "my head is so heavy that my feet must follow" ~sorts of steps. In order to qualify for a milestone in my book, it must be the real thing. Not encouraged by outside rewards, but by self desire. ;)

So, I was sitting on one couch, Emma on the other, and Trevor was crawling all around playing. We were just sort of relaxing mid morning. Trevor crawled over to me to "talk". He turned around to see the room. Then, without any encouragement, he *walked* to the middle of the room, flopped to his bottom, and began to play with a toy. I looked at Emma, and she looked at me. I asked her, "Emma, did Bear just walk all by himself?" and she replied, "Yep, Mommy, I think he did!" LOL We had a good giggle, then both went to him to give him lots of claps and hugs.

So, my little man can officially say that he was born and learned to walk all in the same year! Not many kiddos can say that! ;)

Talk about getting it in under the wire! Yay for you little Bear!
