We're walking!!! Well, maybe....

Tonight Justin started standing behind a toy that you can push, and walking behind it. Daddy helped him a lot. Justin would begin by standing behind it and pushing it against the couch. Then daddy started moving it out to the middle of the room and Justin would take one or two steps and then drop to his knees and push it that way. But daddy persisted in picking him back up each time so that he would continue on his feet, and he would. After about ten tries he was able to push it the length of the laminate floor and carpet that daddy had decided was his course for the evening. What is so surprising to me is that I have been watching him closely as he pulls himself up onto everything...watching for any sign of shifting feet. And there has been very little. Until tonight.
