Barrett took his first steps on November 24, just a day before he turned 10 months. Unfortunately, Stephen and I missed him taking his first actual steps! We were visiting a friend in the hospital that had just had a baby and Barrett was with his Nanan (Brianne). When I called to let her know we were on our way to pick him up she exclamed, "Your boy is walking!" I couldn't believe we missed it! When we got over to Stephen's parents, we encouraged Barrett to do his new trick again and he obliged us. We caught a few on video and thought we would share it with you all.
Now that Barrett is 10 months he can do several new things. He will raise his arms to "sooo big" when you ask him, "How big is Barrett?" He is clapping his hands, saying ball, pointing at objects that catch his attention, and practicing his walk whenever he gets his balance. He has also figured out how to unroll the toilet paper, open cabinets and drawers, and how to open and close doors. Needless to say, we are busy... but quite entertained.
This was wonderful. Made me cry. And if you think he's busy today, wait for tomorrow! I was wishing for a full picture of Flick -- Barrett doesn't seem interested in her, but she's certainly interested in him. The music was great too.
What a great video. Thanks for sharing. He'll be running before you know it. Barrett started walking on my birthday - wish I would have been there to see it. He is soooo cute and getting so big - he is growing way too fast!!!!!
We all got to reminisce about our babies' first steps watching Barrett's. Love the clip. What appropriate music. Funny, Stephen. He's so adorable. I want to squeeze him up. He looks so cucddly - like a teddy bear.
Barrett is such a cutey pie! I could eat him up!
