Ready, Steady, Go!

It has taken him a while but Ryan is finally walking on his own. It's only a few small steps but it's a start.

He has been standing without any support for a week now but just wouldn't take the first step but when I went to daycare to pick him yesterday, his teachers told me that he took 1 1/2 steps unsupported. When I went to daycare today, he was with one of his teachers and took a few tiny steps to me. It was very exciting to watch. He came home and started to walk a little bit too.

I think he probably figured that it's about time for him to start walking. We were at a mall on the weekend and after lunch, I put him on the ground to walk. Ashley's sister was holding on to one of his hand and I was holding on to the other. He walked quite a distance and as we neared the exit, I thought I'll carry him instead but he got very upset. He was happy as soon as I put him back on the ground. It was quite funny.
