Baby Steps

Of course I knew it was going to happen. As he got bigger, I knew Colby would eventually walk. His interest is still very little--he doesn't like to walk with someone holding his hands like a lot of kids do from the minute they find their feet. Noooo, I got the independent child! For the last week or so he's been taking a few steps at a time, all without what seems to be much of a conscious effort on Colby's part. He adds a few steps every now and then...usually loses his balance after awhile, but anyway--the video is of him taking a few steps last night. :o) Hope you enjoy (even if it is sideways!). This walking thing had had me thinking for quite awhile. I am not one of those moms who has been desperate for her kid to become mobile...no way, Jose! Life definitely turned a different corner once Colby started crawling and I am confident the same will happen once he is walking more than crawling. Plus, walking is just another way he isn't my little baby anymore--I'm in no hurry for him to grow up either. But at the same time, I get super excited whenever he takes steps! Even if it's just one here or there.

Since God is our Father, don't you suppose it's the same with Him? We take a new step forward and He's on the edge of his seat, just waiting for us to keep going, there to catch us when we fall, and celebrating when we finally "get it". So glad He does!
