Yesterday Cole took a couple steps on his own. Technically, he took his first step awhile ago, but at best he would take one or two steps and then revert to the good old crawl. Kristin and I aren’t really sure that even counts as “walking” and it certainly didn’t seem like anything to write about. This weekend he clearly took two big steps before going to the ground to crawl, but I still wasn’t sure if that should really count. I am happy to report that Grandma Chris witnessed Cole taking a good five steps solo - no furniture assist! We had not mentioned anything about his pseudo walking, so Grandma was quite surprised. It really is about time. It has seemed like Cole has had the ability to walk for months and has just chosen to use the more "efficient" crawl. Lazy little boy.
Of course when we got home from work last night we were anxious to have Cole show off his new trick. Sorry about my commentary and camera work - he got a little too close to the camera at the end.
He is also talking much more and trying out new words. A few weekends ago he put 2 words together and said, "bye mama." I am hoping that he steps up his conversation skills soon as I am looking forward to having a nice long chat about his persistent waking up and crying EVERY night from about 3:30am until 4:30am.
