A new walker in the house...and it's not the dog!

Yep, we finally have taken a few steps!! It was last night (Thursday) after dinner when we put Joshua on the kitchen floor and he pushed up to standing and took 5 steps, then fell forward to his hands and pushed back up to take 7 more. He was so excited (because we were making quite a commotion) that he just laughed and giggled and crawled all over the place not quite sure what to do with himself. This video was taken this morning. My cousin, Colleen, arrived for a visit last night and we are glad she got to witness his first steps too! Very exciting times in the Garges house!

He is doing such a GREAT job!! And he looks soooo determined when he goes down to get right back up! How exciting!!!!

Oh my gosh. That is so darn precious. How proud he seems, and well he should! By the time I see him in November (perhaps earlier if I fly in to Phillie to visit Mom and Dad), he'll definitely be running. He's absolutely adorable. xoxox

Wow!!! That is so exciting! Now I know what it looks like when Gavin starts walking (although I'm convinced he'll be a crawler forever!)
