Today, Owen decided, would be a good day to walk. So he did - four or five steps across the kitchen, following Dave who was going out to the car. Then he got to daycare, and took some more steps. Then this evening, he continued to toddle along, again four or five steps at a time. But now he would stop and stand still at step four or five, rather than face-planting on the floor.
Today was a big day. My friend Heidi said to me, "Your life will never be the same." She's right. I'm thinking about canceling my gym membership because I expect to run after Owen from now on. He's already a speedy crawler - and I have a feeling that walking will only last a little while. He's more like a kid who'll run everywhere.

yay!!! that is a HUGE milestone! my mom told me that i didn't walk until i was almost 18 months, and that i just scouted around on my tummy. she said she yelled HALLELUJAH when I was finally on my own two feet (sick of lugging around a "sack of potatoes"). but i probably wasn't running if it took me that long, so I suppose you might have a few more worries than my ma.
GOOD LUCK!
