Baby Steps

It has happened after 14 months of lugging around this cute little redhead bundle of Joy, Phillip has taken his first steps. on March 25, 2009 while "helping" Grandpa in the kitchen, Phillip toddled three steps over to Grandpa. He would not repeat the act of Mama and Grammy.

Big Walking Boy

Phillip is now happily toddling here and there with many plops down on the ground. Crawling is still the preferred method of transportation, but is slowly losing favor to the much hipper two legged walking. He is having trouble getting up all by himself, but I know some adults who have a problem with this.

Although I am happy and excited about this new phase in Phillips life I am a little sad, as his cute little crawl will soon be nothing more than a memory, and I no longer have a baby boy, but a little boy. A little boy who has seen that walking can aid him in his endeavors to explore the vast unknown of the world and the house, also in the aid to get Oreos off the counter.

I think Phillip will always be my baby boy. As I think every mother will say.
