Little man is walking!

I know it's a little after the fact, but he officially started walking on Monday. Not that he hasn't been taking steps for some time -- since November to be exact. But it's always a couple steps here, a few steps there. Usually between the couch and coffee table. Sometimes he'll start off into the middle of the room only to realize, three or four steps in, that he'd get there faster crawling and that would be that. But no, Monday he let loose and walked! He was standing at the coffee table and headed for his little house. He just let go and toddled on over. It was probably a good ten to fifteen steps. He was so focused on his destination that he never realized he wasn't using his preferred method of travel. So there it is, my baby is walking! Heaven help me when he gives up crawling. Note to self: must buy more baby gates.
