We have a walker!!!

The last couple weeks Eb has experimented with standing and taking a step or two, but never any distance. Well all that has changed the last three days! It all started with three or four steps between Chris and I. The next day it was a few more, then yesterday he walked all the way across the kitchen! I've started clapping for him whenever he stands alone or walks and he LOVES it. He even has this new smug smile for whenever he does something he thinks I should clap for.

He really doesn't want any help. Most of the time he starts out pulling himself up on our legs or a chair then shuffling for his destination. Whenever you try to hold his hands he gets all jelly legged and wants to plop back down. During this time he is also mastering getting into a standing position without holding on to anything. It works best when he gets himself in a squat and uses his hands for balance to stand up. Of course this is one of the moves that he thinks requires applause, and we are more than happy to oblige!
