William took his first steps today! We went to visit my grandparents, and it occured at their house! William was sitting in a little rocking chair they have that is just his size. My parents have one too, and he likes to rock himself. Today he figured out that he can get out of the chair by himself. His feet don't reach the ground when he's sitting in it, so in order to get out, he has to hold on to the arms, lean forward and let his feet drop to the ground. Once he does that, he has just enough momentum going to take a few steps.
All I had to do was move back a couple of feet so that he had to step (or fall... and that happened too) in order to get to me. Sweet boy. I am so proud of him! I tried to take a video on my iPhone, but of course, the time I was focused on getting a video was the time he fell... and I felt too bad to keep trying. I know this picture is blurry and only captures part of him, but it seems to capture the moment and his excitement!

Yaaaaaayyy! A kiss kiss day for the WP! Once he does it a few more times, there will be no stopping that boy! Love, Lollie and Pop
Borrowing from Dr. Seuss in Oh, Baby, the Places You'll Go:
"Baby, oh, baby,
The places you'll go!
The worlds you will visit!
The friends you will know!"
What a "grand" day for a boy to start stepping out! Happy travels, sweet William!
