He's finally walking!

A friend of mine told me that her son started walking at 14 months, a neighbor told me her son started at 18 months, my boss told me that BOTH her sons started at 14 months.

When Ethan was born, I was determined to not let him be one of those kids! They say that on "the" average, babies learn to walk between 10-18 months. Most kids, at around their first birthday. At 10 months, Ethan started getting steadier on his feet...just standing. And proud grandparents stated, "he's gonna start walking by the time he's 11 months!" That didn't happen. Then they said "this kid is going to start walking by his first birthday!" Nope. "13 months!!!" Ehhhh no not really. "13 1/2???" Hardly. "14 for sure!!!" Try again. 

Ethan is just a few days shy of 15 months. I came home from work today and went into his bedroom where he was playing with grandma. Today was the first time he actually stood up on his own and walked over to me to say hi and gave me a hug...smiling from ear to ear. 

It doesn't matter what age they start to walk. As long there's no obvious warning signs, he'll do it when he wants to do it. 

Now he won't stop, and now my world will never ever ever be the same as before. 

He's a boy, no more a baby!
