Stepping out
A few weeks ago I wrote about how baby milestones actually gradually come about, and don't just happen all of a sudden
Nearly a year on...
Well, Archie has been mastering the art of walking for the last few weeks, from tentatively standing up, to walking along the sofa, to walking everywhere using our hands for help, to slowly relying on them less but still needing them for balance, to taking one or two steps between gaps, to taking three or four steps when he isn't thinking too hard about it but wants something that is over there, to walking back and forth between Lucie and me.
That incidentally wasn't the best he did. But unfortunately I didn't think about filming it to begin with, and then typically when I decided to he was getting bored and trying to crawl between us instead.
We also played the greatest game ever earlier. The rules were simple. He would say "yeah", then I would say "yeah, then he would say "yeah", then I would say "yeah, then he would say "yeah", then I would say "yeah, then he would say "yeah", then I would say "yeah, then he would say "yeah", then I would say "yeah, then he would say "yeah", then I would say "yeah, then he would say "yeah" etc. all the time with a huge grin on his face.
It ruled.
