Steps

Eli finally started taking steps on his own! We're so happy because we knew he could do it. For a while now he's been standing without support, but he realized that crawling was easier so he'd never take any steps. Bummer.

When he started a few days ago, he would just take a few quick steps and then kind of fling himself forward. It was really funny. I'm not sure how much of it was walking and how much of it was just sheer momentum.

And then a few days later, Eli was already improving. He could take a single step and pause and then continue. Impressive!

Eli still opts to crawl, but at least now we know he has it in him. Go, Eli!
