I decided that this deserves its whole own post. Last Thursday, Aaron took his first steps. I was at mom and dad's and unfortunately Caleb was in Fl. Aaron was standing at the couch and Jen, Mom, and I were all there playing with him. All of a sudden, Aaron just let go and took about 3 steps towards me. Also, he was butt naked since I had just changed his diaper. This could be why he felt free enough to let go. For a while now I have said he could walk if he wanted, but he just seemed to scared to let go. So, on his timing he decided he wanted to go for it. Needless to say, we were super excited. We probably spent the next 30 minutes or so getting him to walk between us all. Don't worry, I got a diaper on him pretty quick so we could get videos of this moment and to keep any accidents from happening. Since that night he has continued to take 2-5 steps but on his terms. If he doesn't want to try to walk he lets you know my plopping on his butt or holding his legs up when you try to get him to stand. I am trying to encourage him to walk and give him opportunities to practice without forcing it too much. I'll keep you updated with progress.
As soon as my parents email me the video's from that night i will post them. HINT HINT MOM (Jen, you might have to help them if you don't mind).
