Walking Boy!

It didn't really take him that long. Now Callum's taking his first tentative steps. This evening when I got home and went to get changed, Ethan rushed in to tell me Callum is walking. This was a bit of an overstatement. However, when he came crawling in, Anth followed him, and showed me how he is now taking those initial steps.

We laid pillows out on the floor. One of Callum's favourite things is to dive headfirst into them, and then turn his head back to us and laugh! So Anth got him to stand up near her, and then turned him around towards the pillows. First one step, then a second, then a third, and then a shallow swan dive into the pillows, followed by mass hilarity. I think he got excited that we were showing him so much attention. We were excited because these are quite literally his first steps. How exciting.

It has taken him just over a year to get to this point. Ethan achieved this by his first birthday, but given it took Aidan nearly 4 years before he was walking, it seems a rapid accomplishment now. I'm sure by the weekend he'll be almost sprinting, and that baby phase will be one more step closer to being gone.

Ciao for Now, He's Walking Angry Dad.
