Baby Steps

Tuesday night Sam honored us with his first real steps...about 6 or 7 all in a row! What stings is that we had the video camera out to tape him doing something else and were getting it ready when it happened! We missed it by seconds :( He knows when we've got any type of camera out so we don't have any pictures/video yet, I'll post them when we do.

Since then he's kept trying a few steps here and there. So is walking around the corner? I feel like we've been saying that for months.

Other funny/new things he does these days:

• Raking his tongue across surfaces: mainly the couch, oven and refridgerator.
• Rubbing his books back and forth across the wall.
• Sliding backwards on his tummy.
• Getting down from the bed or couch feet first...his head appreciates that one.
  
• Laying down on his tummy in the bathtub and drinking the water.
• Coming crawl-running when we start reading one of his favorite books, "Buenas Noches, Gorila" (he'll turn the pages of his books himself too.)
