Finally my child has walked. Took him long enough, but he did it between Miguel and I Friday night, about 2 or 3 steps. Then he did it again yesterday about 3 steps. And today he blew my mind, made my jaw drop, and I think I almost cried. He was playing with dominos crawled over to me at the computer, got in my lap, chewed on dominos a bit, then wanted down. Then when he was standing there leaning on me, he just took off walking, about 8 or 10 steps toward the dominos again. I couldn't believe it. I thought he might never walk. How bizarre to see him walk away without holding onto anything. I had to call Miguel at work and tell him. Oh happy day. He is almost 15 months old, it's about time.
And I feel a little smug and victorious that he did it in front of me, me only. How rotten is that? Ah well.
Now if only he'd say "Momma"...
