James has been working on his walking skillzzz while holding on to furniture (he's gotten extremely quick) and would walk 2-3 steps when we stood him in the middle of the room but yesterday he decided to get really brave. For his school report on Monday 2.15.2010 they wrote "James took a few steps without holding on to any furniture." He then got home and unexpectedly showed us his stuff -- he was holding on to his pack 'n play and then walked straight over to me by the couch -- it took him about 40 steps to cover the 7 feet but he stayed up the whole time with a huge smile on his face as he took his baby toddle steps :-D Both Jim and I got to see it -- IT WAS FANTASTIC! We are both so proud of him! We just kept watching him, amazed and then wondered "why aren't we getting this on video?" so we got it on tape before he stopped for the night! Tuesday 2.16.2010 Ms. E came back from her day off and wrote "James did a lot of walking today. He walked from his crib to the science shelf (about 7 feet again)" -- she was very proud of him, too (and just as caught off guard as us that he just busted out the walk).
Random back track to what James did at school last week:
Monday 2.09.2010 :: "James had a busy day. He was playing with all the baby dolls and on the wavy mat a lot today."
Tuesday 2.10.2010 :: James made a game out of crawling across the room to his friend's crib, trying to play with him, and then his teacher would move James away so he didn't wake his friends up -- she'd turn around and James would use his super speed demon crawl to go try to wake his friend up again -- all with a smile on his face -- what a stinker!
Thursday 2.11.2010 :: Ms. D came to see James today -- he crawled over to her and then psyched her out by turning his back to her instead of hugging her like usual. Then when she shook/pointed her finger at him and said "James, are you being a stinker?" he pointed and shook his finger back at her with a big smile on his face :-) HA, sooo funny -- the teachers said they all about lost it laughing so hard at our little goof ball.
