Step by Step

It's difficult to say when gabe actually started walking. He has been taking those couple of steps between one piece of furniture to another, and always lounging towards his destination, so it's not really considered walking.

But in the last week, things have progressed pretty quickly. Those few steps became steady ones, and he was able to walk a short distance to me from the coffee table at the beginning of this week. That was under instruction.

Yesterday, I caught him walking in the living room on his own initiative. Doesn't matter that the distance was pretty short but it showed that this very cautious boy was confident enough to do it on his own.

Today, his waigong, waipo and yeeyee came over for dinner and kiddo was practising walking from one person to another, always giggling while heading for his destination and giving a hearty laugh once there.

Ah... a new phase has begun.
