The moment we've been waiting for has arrived (actually, it arrived almost a week ago)! Last Wednesday, July 21st, Nathan started walking! Here's how it went down...Grandma Krestel was spending the day with us and Nathan had just gotten up from his afternoon nap. I brought him out to the living room and stood him up at the couch next to Grandma. I went back to his room and grabbed his big bag of wooden blocks, walked back into the living room, sat down across from the couch and put the bag down. Well, Nathan saw what I had and he wanted it so he turned from the couch and just walked over to me. Grandma's and my jaw just dropped to the floor and we were stumbling over our words, 'Oh my goodness...did he just...did you see...did he just walk...he walked!' Then we started screaming with excitment and scared Nathan half to death, the poor little guy. After we got him calmed down we wondered...should we wait to have him do it again until Daddy gets home from work or should we give him a chance to practice? We decided we should let him practice. When Daddy got home from work, Mommy was waiting at the door with the video camera and Grandma put Nathan down and he walked to meet Daddy at the front door. Daddy was shocked to see his little guy walking! It was so fun to catch on video. It's been an absolute blast to see this little guy walk! He's still so tiny and it just looks hilarious to see him tottering all around. He's getting better with each passing day and I'm sure he'll be running before we know it. Here are some pictures of him in motion...
How exciting! That must have been such a neat way for Kevan to come home. :)
