It is official. Dylan has taken his first steps. I will call it today, May 19. I have been putting him arms lengths away lately and then letting go to see if he will walk to me. He started by just falling into my arms and laughing like it was just a fun game. Then the other day he started to actually move his feet before falling into my arms. Today we practiced this about 10 times and he actually took two steps to me without the falling into my arms part. Still not entirely convinced these could be considered first steps I kept practicing. The last time he took two steps, paused and then a third to me. That required stabilization and balance that I think truly warrant the title of first steps.
Then late in the day after dinner I was putting Sophia's shoes on at the steps by the side door. As I did this I had Dylan between my legs on the landing. Then I say him CRAWL UP TWO STEPS all on his own! He was going for a third and then Sophia kicked back down. Wow! He did it like he had been doing it all his life and it was no big deal. So modest.
