Pennie said...How exciting the first steps are for new parents no doubt the mile stones are so memorable! Our children are grown but...We are going to be Grandparents for the first time and can't wait for the first step experience as Grandparents! But, we need to "re" baby proof the house and all the products have changed so much! Looking forward to trying some of the new products we didn't have!

Michelle said...My husband and I were talking in my office about when and how our son Liam might start walking, and when we turned around to look at him he was already on two legs and taking his first steps!

Andrea G. said...My son started crawling doing the one legged scoot. He'd pull himself along with his arms and just push with one leg. The weirdest looking movement, and of course I heard the "you better fix that or he'll take forever to walk" from the peanut gallery! He took his time, but was running within a few months from that! Funny how people that have never had any kids always have the most to say! (usually negative at that too!)

Vickie said...As a Grandmother of 2 precious girls I have had the privilege of watching the oldest, Victoria 2 1/2, take her first steps and seeing the joy in her little eyes. Now our youngest, Sophia 1, has decided it is time to walk instead of crawl, with great excitement I might add. Needless to say both girls are on the "go" at all times.LOL But we would not have it any other way.
