Xander Week 52 - Officialy Walking!
September 13, 2007
I know a few weeks ago I said that Xander had taken his first steps, which is true. But we had a tough time convincing Xander to take anymore steps, and the ones that he did take were incredibly unstable. Then last week he finally got his balance under control and set off across the living room! The first time he did it, I was in the shower, and Zach watched him take 17 steps. Since then he’s toddling all over the place, though when he really wants to get somewhere, he uses crawling as his preferred mode of travel.
I’ve got to say that watching Xander walk is one of the cutest things I’ve seen so far, and he seems so proud of himself. Often he sticks his tongue out, maybe for concentration, or perhaps just excitement, but either way it’s super cute. Now we’re trying to practice in shoes, but that’s a bit slower going, as Xander’s balance still isn’t great yet. At any rate, he officially started walking at 11 months, and I’m sure it won’t be long before we’ll be chasing after the little guy!
