Ready to Take on the World!

After only 4 months in the making, the Oakster has finally decided to take his first real steps. Since he was about 11 months old, he was walking (assisted of course) pretty well. We kept saying, "Oh, it'll only be a few weeks til he's going on his own". Month after month, he was still at the exact same place he had started the month before. After awhile, we realized he was going to start walking as soon as it was his idea. That's exactly what he did. Just yesterday, he let go of the couch and walked acrossed the room towards a toy. He tried about 4 or 5 times and that was all he needed. As soon as he woke up today, he would do nothing but walk. He was exploring everything. He loved transitioning between the carpet and tile...back and forth and back and forth. So, for all you family members that have been harassing me about my blog updates-this one's for you!
