He's OFF!

It's official! Gavin had his first solo walk about 15 minutes ago! I was sitting in the glider catching up on some old DVR'd programs and wouldn't ya know- that little turkey just took off! He was holding onto the corner of the coffee table when he let go. He walked to the middle of the living room, turned around and walked to me in the chair. That was probably around 20 steps. I was trying SO hard not to freak out because I wanted to see how far he would go on his own. He has taken several steps so far but NEVER without some encouragment first. (Unless you count a few little steps between the coffee table and couch.)

I guess I should get out the baby book and write the official first steps at 10 1/2 months! Now I'm going to be in some REAL trouble! I could have used a crawler for a little longer considering he makes ENOUGH messes as it is! I can only imagine the stuff he's going to be getting into now that it's on another level!
