Hooray for Amos! Yesterday, he took his first step. It was kind of a step, really- not the kind you normally think of, the stereotypical first step as the child lets go of his parents hands or some such. Instead, he was walking along the couch, steadying himself with one hand like he has been doing for a while. By a while, I mean like a month or two. He has been enjoying himself walking along things or walking while holding on to at least one steadying hand or walking while holding on to his train toy that he can push in front of him. He's also been standing without any support for a while, and yesterday the seconds jumped from him holding his balance for a second or two to holding his balance for several seconds with nothing to steadying him. Then yesterday, as he was walking along the couch sidestepping, he took one step without holding on to the couch! Yay!
