Baby Steps

May 6, 2009 at 4:15 pm | In Stuff Dante Can Do | 2 Comments

Last night, motivated by the allure of his rarely-touched wooden car, Dante took four solid steps, without a wobble or tumble.

I am a proud mama.

No one was coaxing him or anything like that. He stood independently, gnawing on a wooden “guy” who belongs in his wooden car. He saw the wooden car, straight ahead of him in a bin that was at eye-level. I don’t know whether he wanted to get the car, or put the guy in the car, but he just started walking. Like a natural.

I will miss certain things about each of his stages, but I have to admit, I love watching his development. And he seems soooo much happier as he can do more things and communicate better. Pretty soon, he’ll probably be running away from me as I try to wrangle him for a diaper change. Ah, the things I have to look forward to.

- “LB” = Laundry basket for those who aren’t privy to this exciting ride. It’s prettykick-ass. I just hope it’s not spoiling him for the boardwalk amusements this summer.
