While our family was here, Ian loved walking around with anyone who would hold his fingers! He has started to MUCH prefer walking to sitting, crawling, or being carried.
Uncle Andrew challenged Ian to walk while holding just ONE hand. Leave it to the physical therapist to think of giving Ian something else (like a ball) to hold in the other hand. Holding a ball in one hand really (surprisingly!) seemed to help Ian feel more balanced.
Ian's first steps (soon after his party on May 1, 2010) were walking between Uncle Andrew and Daddy. We didn't even have a camera ready! We didn't think Ian was close to being able to walk! Surprise!! Here, Uncle Jason entices Ian to walk over to him by placing a toy from Grandpa and Grandma on his head.
Here, Ian prepares to walk into Papa's waiting arms.
Look how proud Ian is to be walking! (And, I guess his Mama and Daddy are pretty proud, too!) Check out the videos below to "watch in on" Ian's very first steps on his own!
