Alex is definitely getting this walking thing down. He's taken 2 or 3 steps at a time before but mostly it's one step and then the others are just what happens when he's trying to land on his butt instead of his face. Tonight, he took a step, started to stagger and then caught himself and carefully took 2 more steps, again caught himself and then one more and then just gave up and sat down. All this was while carrying his bottle and trying to drink it so not only is he really trying to get this walking thing down, but he's multi-tasking, too. That's my boy.... (I promise I will post some pictures of this soon and if I can remember to try to get video, I'll do that also.)
My other boy - his thing is to say "I'm ok, Mom." I'm sure most of you do this but when your child falls down you either tell them "you're ok" or if they might have really hurt themselves, you ask "are you ok." Ethan has caught on to this. If he trips or tries to do something and something falls (not necessarily on him - it can fall anywhere in his vecinity), he is very quick to say "I'm ok, Mom"..."I'm ok, Dad" - not Mama or Mommy or even Daddy - Mom & Dad. If he actually is hurt, that's when he calls me Mama or Mommy. Otherwise, it's pretty much, "Can I have some milk, Mom?" "where are you going, Mom?" "whatcha doin', Mom?" "you going to work, Mom?" If he was calling me "Mom" cause someone told him to, that would probably tick me off cause I really wanted to be "Mama" - but somehow since he's developed this all by himself, not only do I not mind, but it's really, really cute. Sounds very "big boy" of him and that makes it even cuter cause he's soooo not a big boy yet.
