Jack Kaden

We’ve been saying for the past 2 months, “oh, it will happen at any moment,” and it never does. You see, Jack is a power crawler. I have found myself running to keep up with him…as he is crawling. Why would he need to walk? He’s got all the ambulatory skills he needs and the callouses on his knees to prove it.

But today? When he was reaching for a wayward kazoo that his mother did not leave at baby level on the coffee table but instead brazenly moved next to her on the sofa? Two very clear, very non-supported, very drunken, little baby steps.

I have witnesses (Karen our OT was over) and everything.

So, at approximately 16 1/2 months actual, 13 1/2 months adjusted, our boy took his first steps.

Pride doesn’t even begin to cover it.
