first steps


This video is a little dark as it was captured on my parents point and shoot camera, but we had to grab something fast as Isaac was taking his first steps. He now will walk several steps between David and I, but he isn't yet initiating his own walking between distant objects. This new achievement has brought with it many scary falls and accidents. Yesterday, within the matter of thirty minutes, Isaac tumbled over his stroller cutting his lip, as I ran to grab a kleenext to dab the blood he pulled a glass off of the kitchen table. I finally strapped him into his highchair so I could clean up the destruction around the house. Then came the vacuum cleaner to pick up the glass. Mr. Isaac has a great fear of the large creature so there was lots of crying and panicking. It was a very stressful couple of hours.
It is so exciting to see the look in his eye as he begins to assert his independence. He is incredible proud of his new accomplishment as are we.
