ready. set. go

The first thing Christian does when he wakes up in the morning is to look for the dog. Even when he's half awake, he'll try to look for Cinnamon - the poor kid would try to raise his head up but would plop right on his face at least 3 times before he's fully awake.

On Monday morning - he decided to get up, climbed down the bed, and walked(!)

yes, Christian is walking.

zooming everywhere.

He's been taking two steps, sometimes three, the previous week. But this week, it started with maybe 6 steps, then 10 then 15... we lost count.

The cute thing is, he would raise his hands up as he walks.

It's funny how babies have this innate ability to balance themselves.

And he will be so proud of himself.

He'll clap whenever he plonks himself down after his "stroll".

And he'll scrunch up his nose and smile, flashing his milk-white teeth.

I'm a proud mama. You betcha.
