Walking..

Brayden starting walking today!! The past week he would take one step (if you can call it that) and then sit down and crawl. But today was the real deal!! Just like the first time Brayden crawled, Dan and I were both there and able to get it on video... it was PRICELESS! 

Here is what happened...Dan had just gotten home from his last day at his current job (tomorrow he starts back at Bank of America and couldn't be happier) and we were both downstairs in the family room playing with Brayden and catching up. Dan was practicing standing Brayden up and encouraging him to walk as he has endlessly tried for the past month or so with no success! Well today it worked, and Brayden took a good five or six steps toward me before plopping down!! The funny thing is that last night at dinner Dan was just saying how he thought Brayden was never going to walk. He preceded to say that Brayden doesn't even seem to care to try and walk since crawling gets him where he wants to go. So I am thinking Brayden slept on this and wanted to prove Daddy wrong, haha! Of course we had to repeat this process several times throughout the night because we were all very excited! This proud Momma also teared up a bit...my baby is really growing up now!
