Walking!

July

Well Sam has been walking since July 22. We were at the water park and he just decided to let go of my head and break out on his own. I was so shocked even though I was expecting and hoping it would happen soon. He is getting better at it everyday. Hecan now go very long distances and can stop and start and keep his balance, but he hasn't learned to stand up with out pulling up on something first. He falls a lot, but hasn't nurt himself too bad yet. Walking hasn't changed a whole lot for Sam, except he is so proud of himself, but I'm definetly a little more nervouse. He has fallen and hit his head pretty hard a few times and those moments replay in my mind every time he is walking around something hard. Oh well, he'll get better and I will too! And just as I suspected, there are few slow and considerate steps and lots of fast, almost running to keep his balance ones.
