Beginnings of walking

I had the opportunity to be in an artisan show over the weekend in Kansas City. My parents were champs and seemed to love taking care of Warrick all day two days in a row. Wow. Brett was sad to be away from us for nearly 5 days and was super nervous that Warrick would start walking while we were apart.

Well, I wouldn't say that he started walking, per se, but he definitely took steps. On my way out of town, getting my oil changed at a Valvoline, Warrick was crawling and cruising all over the mostly clean little waiting room. He was particularly interested in the bumpy floor and the other girl waiting - who was not particularly interested in him. I just happened to look up while he was standing in the middle of the room. Tap tap tap tap tap. WHAT! Almost a running in place, very quick tiny steps. But definitely something he has not done before, and definitely closer to walking. I almost cried, for some reason, and then told the girl sitting there, "I know you probably don't care and didn't see, but he just took his first steps in front of you." She didn't really care, but I was so excited I had to tell someone.

Wow. A few more random steps over the last two days, and a tumble into the bathtub. Other than that, no official walking yet.
