Walking!!!

It's official....... Xavier is walking. He's still not really crawling, but more of a scooting on his belly type thing lately. Xavier's been cruising around the furniture with greater speed lately and LOVES to walk behind his push cart.
This morning he left the cart and took 2 steps to the loveseat. I was excited and though that means in the next fews days he'll take a few more steps here and there. Well, tonight Walter and I were sitting on the floor across from each other and Xavier took about 5 or so steps. Within about 10 minutes he was up to 21 steps and walking completely across the living room! It was so exciting for us. He can't stand up on his own without the help of someone or some furniture, but if you get him standing he'll take off. The funny thing is he likes to clap his hands while he walks.


Needless to say it was an exciting evening at the Deeken house. I'll try and get a few pictures tomorrow of his new skill!
