Chris took his first steps Friday night. Last week he started taking a half step and lunging between sofas, and Friday he started linking steps together. We counted 8 once. He's a bit unstable still, but on his way.
We read somewhere that a good way to entertain a toddler is to give them some flour and some cups and let them scoop and pour. The article suggested laying down some newspaper to contain the mess. Ha! We knew it was going to be a mess when Chris's first move was to pick up the paper.
