Step by step ooh baby!

Don't worry folks, I'm not having a bad 80's flash back, actually now i am -

"Step by step
Ooh baby
Youre always on my mind
Step by step
Ooh girl
I really think its just a matter of time"

Sorry for that moment of insanity, what this blog was originally going to be about was this -

PEANUT IS STARTING TO TAKE STEPS!!!

It really amazes me how much Peanut has changed over the past 13 or so months. He has gone from this tiny little baby that does very little other sleep, eat and cry to this little boy who plays, crawls and chatters (and he still sleeps, eats and crys!)

So back to the steps thing. It was a good couple of weeks ago now that he stood for the first time, come to think of it, it was the Monday after his birthday. And he only stood unassisted for a max of ten seconds before he went crashing down onto his butt, but it was a stand.

I am constantly amazed how quickly Peanut manages to master something, like once he figured out how to stand and within days he was able to stand and kind of dance (well, shake his hands and bop his head) when he heard music. And now he is working on walking. It was not long ago that he took his first step on the front lawn - looked at M34tb4LL and me with a "What the hell did I just do???" look on his face and crash down on the ground.

Now he will stand up and we can see the concentration on his face as he takes tentative little steps. He has not managed to take more half a dozen steps before gravity gets the better of him, but it's a start, and he will only get better from here. Who knows, by the end of this weekend he may be running!

Looking at Peanut's face we are seeing less and less of a baby and more and more of little boy. Where has our little baby gone?
