On January 5th I decided that this crawling stuff was getting me nowhere. I knew that I needed a plan. A plan to be able to get around the house faster and quick enough to catch Bob our cat... it was that day (Jan. 5th) that I took my first step. Daddy was so excited as he witnessed it while Mommy was in the kitchen cooking dinner. My PaSai was oh say happy too since she's been telling Mommy for months now that I need to walk soon due to my weight :-). By the way, when we were at the doctors the other day, I weighed in at 23 lbs 4 oz. The doctor says I'm doing good and growing right along.
I'm getting really good and holding Mommy's hand while we walk from room to room too. Last night, I overheard Daddy telling Mommy that he's finally convinced that we need more safety gates for our stairs. Hmmm.... I don't need no stinking safety gates.... I'll humor my parents though and let them put them up for their sake. I was worried about Bob and him not being able to get through the gates but he does just fine. Man can that cat jump! I sure wish that Bob could teach me how to jump that high. Anyway, Mommy took some video footage this morning of me walking so you can see for yourself. The most steps that I've taken so far without falling is 10. My Daddy's friend said that before you know I will be running. Woo Hoo, I can't wait for that because that is when the real fun begins!
Love,
Emerson
