Eli's First Steps!!!!

Yesterday (January 1st, 2009) Eli took his first steps. I was holding him and put him on the floor standing infront of my legs. He balanced himself and all of sudden started walking. He took four steps before he started to get wobbly. I couldn't believe it. I have tried this many times and he has always just leaned forward until I catch him. I was not at all expecting him to walk. It was so wonderful. Since then I have tried it a few times but he gets too excited and goes too fast and falls. We are going to keep trying it. :-)
