Saturday afternoon we were all relaxing and playing around the house after Birdies class and after going out to breakfast with Nana and Doodah at IHOP. Brady was by my feet and I was sitting on the couch. Chad was sitting on the floor across from us a few feet away. Before we knew what was happening, Brady was taking a few steps towards Chad and then tumbled into his arms. We were shocked and thrilled! We encouraged him to go the other way from Chad back to me. He made about 3 or 4 trips between us, each trip taking about 2 to 3 steps each.
We tried to practice again with him last night, and he did take one step or maybe two, but not to the extent of Saturday. We are not pushing it, we'll let him decide his own pace.
I should also mention that Chloe is making some progress on the walking front as well. She has been walking while holding on to just one of our hands pretty well and gets steadier and steadier. She likes to make laps with us around the living room. On Saturday morning she walked out of Birdies class while just holding one of Chad's hands. I believe she is physically ready to walk, she is very sturdy, but she isn't quite ready to take the mental plunge yet since as soon as we try to let go of both hands she squats and sits back down on the ground and crawls.
We are so proud of both of our babies. It is hard to believe soon they will be walking. Yesterday we cleaned out our pantry of all of our leftover "baby food" and other baby feeding supplies to give to our friends with twin newborn boys. Last night we grilled steak for dinner, and the babies had steak, broccoli with cheese sauce, raspberries, milk, tater tots, and applesauce as their dinner. Of course, they mostly favored the tater tots and applesauce, but still, it amazed me that they are grown up enough to eat regular food just like us!
Happy Monday to everyone!
