Caught Walking

Dawson turns 15 months old tomorrow and has been on the verge of walking for the last month. All three of my kids have been late crawlers - Mackenzie only scooted and Aiden didn't crawl until we got some physical therapy at 10 months - and late walkers.

Yesterday, I saw Dawson standing in the hall taking a few hesitant steps and decided to get out the video camera to record the progress. As I began filming, I explained on camera that I was merely trying to record him on the verge because I don't consider it walking until they stand up and walk again on their own after a fall.

At that very moment Dawson fell down. Then, to my amazement, he stood on his own and walked all the way down the hall to me. I was so excited you would have thought that I had never seen anyone walk before.

There he was - my walking boy. And, I caught it all on tape.
