FINALLY!!!! Sawyer is walking!!!

sawyer has been standing on his own without pulling himself up for a couple weeks.
{which none of my other kids could do til after they walked.}

so, over and over, i look over to find him just standing.
in the middle of the floor.
many times i've gone over and said, "sawyer! walk to me!"
he ALWAYS just sits down.
won't take one little step.

til right after lunch today.
i said, "sawyer! come here!" when i saw him standing...and he took a little step towards me!!!
then sat down.

i RAN and got the camera.
and this is what i taped.
literally his second {and third and fourth and...steps!}

sawyer walking!!!

{don't mind my hysterical laughing...}

this all happened right before he went down for his nap this afternoon.
it'll be interesting to see how much he walks later today!

Tess will only take like 1-2 steps now...before she was doing 3-5. She does stand on her own though, which none of my other kids till after they walked either. weird.

I love the video and how he keeps on trying. So cute!
Also, it is neat to watch Rebekah interacting with Sawyer. It has to be so nice that she can pick him up and help out. Sarah would love to be that helpful, she's just not big enough.
