First Steps

Well its been a long time coming but my baby boy has taken his first unaided steps. We managed to get it all on camera as well which was brilliant and very lucky. He is still not doing it often, we would prop him count to 3 and let him go and then he would take a few steps to get to us but when hes moving between say the sofa and the table and its too far to reach he is still dropping to his knees and crawling. Actually brought tears to my eyes to see him toddle towards his daddy. Its amazing how much he has grown. He now grabs a book crawls over to whoever is on the sofa pulls himself up (yes he has learnt how to climb onto my sofa as well as off it) sits on their lap and demands we read him the book. He is babbling alot more just like those twin babies on youtube. He loves this video its like he knows what they are talking about and he points, laughs and babbles back. He has learnt to sign monkey and he loves singing in sign 3 little monkeys. He knows what he wants and he knows what he wants you to do! He is a total bossy boots and the strop on him is brilliant but I am dreading that if he is this stroppy now whats the terrible twos going to be like? Argh. Well fingers crossed and before long I can report that my monkey is a proper toddler walker.
