First Steps!

Blake learned a new game on our bed. He will get up on his knees and then throw his body onto the pillows. He will giggle really hard and do it over and over falling both forward and backward. He learned to also do it on the couch. The only problem with his new game is he sometimes forgets that the key to the game is pillows. At the beginning of this week we were hanging out in the den and Blake was standing right in front of me with his hands on the couch. He started giggling and then threw himself back... onto the wood floor. It was horrible. Since then I have been terrified of his new game.

Tonight I was sitting on the floor to catch any falls while he was cruising along the couch. He turned toward me, let go of the couch, took one step and threw his body at me! I couldn't figure out if he was just playing his game or if he had really taken a step so I quickly put him back at the couch again. This time he took TWO steps and threw his body at me. At this point I am ecstatic. He is giggling uncontrollably because he is playing his favorite game. Todd is scrambling to get the video camera ready. I put Blake a little farther away from me. He took THREE steps and threw his body at me!

Right as Todd has the video camera ready to capture this monumental moment, Blake decides he has had enough fun for the night. He sat down and crawled away. I chased him and tried to get him to stand up again but he all of a sudden has wet noodle legs. Humph.


My goal is to get it on tape. Baby Boot Camp starts tomorrow! Stay tuned!
