Walking!

It's funny, Sebastian seems to do things all of a sudden. Like when he started sitting up, one day he wasn't really even tripoding with his arms very well, and the next day he was sitting up totally unsupported, straight back and reaching for stuff with his hands. It's like he figured out he could do it, and then just did.

Same thing happened with walking on his own, apparently. He's been cruising (using furniture to move around) since 8 months, and getting faster and faster. For the past month, he's been walking holding on to one finger. He won't even hold two hands...if you try to take the other one he lets go of the first hand. Well, yesterday, he was in our bedroom, standing and looking out the window. Then he turned around and walked like 5 steps to me sitting on the bed. Like it was nothing. And he was so proud of himself! Grinning and laughing like a loon.

Since then, he's been doing it constantly. Like he figured out he could get from place to place on just TWO limbs, so why was he going to use four like a chump?! I just think it's hilarious that he went from not wanting to even try it to walking on his own in a day. Crazy! Of course we're so proud of him! He's still pretty unstable and wobbly, and has a tendency to go a bit too fast and faceplant on occasion, but I have a feeling he'll figure out the whole balance thing in no time. And what a great Father's Day present for Ken! His own little independently mobile man!
