Joshua took his first steps a few weeks ago. No one told me that first steps does not equal walking! I suppose I would’ve realized it if I put much thought into it, but never had. So for the last few weeks he’s been practicing his two or three steps before toppling over…gaining balance and strength. Last night he suddenly decided he wanted to walk farther! He spent about half an hour walking back and forth between us, to the furniture, to the dog, to his toys. He was so overjoyed with himself that he’d often just throw his entire body at one of us squealing. Too adorable, I tell you. We realized after a bit that this should be documented on film! So here you have it: 11 seconds of walking cuteness.

Leo heard Joshua’s squeals from across the room, stopped what he was enthusiastically involved in, and came over to watch (and replay about four times). :) Yeah Joshua! I had the same thought process, so I don’t really have any date or actual documentation of first steps. He had been “walking” for about two months before it became his main mode of transportation a week before his birthday. He is still a very cautious walker. Let’s have a play date!

I so wish we could have a play date! Why isn’t Idaho closer to Missouri?

Ila did the same as Leo! She loves watching babies! Go Joshua, GO!

Good eye, Nicole! He shaved on a whim and is growing it back as fast as he can because he doesn’t like it!

Aw, tell him to try going without for awhile. He looks great!

I love both of your squeals. :) He is getting so BIG! Also, the family pic you have on here is adorable. You Kellys are so photogenic.
