From Crawling to Walking!

Mason took several first steps today! I was about to take a nap. Travis was playing with him before giving him a bottle and putting him down for his afternoon nap. All of a sudden Travis bursts into our room and says you better come in here if you want to see your son walk for the first time. I was like, no way. I mean he had been kinda taking some steps, but they were really wobbly. He just started crawling, I kept thinking. Well, Travis put his truck in front of Mason and he just took off, literally taking between 6 and 12 steps to get to his truck and push it! It was AMAZING to experience this amazing first as a family. I mean this is a start of a whole new journey for our little man and our family. Travis has been working with Mason on walking and his balance before our nighttime bottle and it looks like his dedication has paid off. Mason is very close to mastering this amazing skill and he's not even 10 months old. Travis is so excited, he says he just wants Mason to run out to meet him when he gets home from work shouting, "Daddy, Daddy, Daddy." Well, my dears, you are literally one step closer to making that dream a reality.

On a side note, Mason is starting to get his top teeth in! Wow, they really do grow up so fast!

We are so proud of you Mason! Before we know it, you'll be running the bases at the ball field. I know you Daddy and Chris look forward to that day!

Tears are welling up in my eyes, I swear!!
When it's your last one you won't let them out of the stroller because you want to hang on to babyhood.
Cute boy, that's awesome, Congratulations Mason!!!

That's awesome!! He is such a cutie..... what an important milestone, and you're right.... a life-changing one..... for you and Travis, too. Put everything up high.... you never know when you'll walk in a room to flour all over the floor and a little boy covered in shaving cream!

I think Rolley Len went from wobbly to sprinting around over about two days time. You think you have time to adjust to their new skill but NOPE! They will show you how to move real quick.
