Matthew's First Steps...

Matthew is ten months old today!!! Hooray! And, he took his first real steps as well. I was outside in the backyard with him today. He was doing his most favorite thing in the world...playing with the hose. He literally will play with the hose for hours. He has been standing independently for about two weeks now. He loves to stand and hold the hose, and watch the water splash onto the ground. But today, he thought he was a "firefighter". He started dragging the hose all around. He first took three steps with the hose, and then four steps after falling in between. Okay, I will confess now. I got a couple of tears in my eyes. It was the most amazing thing I have yet to see him do. I plan to get a video of him doing it. I hope he will continue his stepping discovery again tomorrow. To be continued...
