Count'em 1 2 3, Left Right Left!!!

We had a very exciting night on the fourth. Ryan was hanging out with me in the bathroom while I was scrubbing the bathtub. He was standing up next to the door and balancing himself against the wall. Once he felt stable he let go. He has been doing this for some time now. I was just talking to him like I usually do and to my surprise he started to take a step. I held my breath because he has attempted this before and usually bites the dust. Instead, he took one step forward with his left foot, then another with his right, and another with the left. He got so excited that he fell down, but it counts....Ryan took his first steps!!! I realize he is only 8.5 months old but I have a feeling he will be perfecting his new skill over the next couple of weeks. Needless to say there was a lot of clapping, cheering, and very proud parents in the house. Go Ryan:)
