He walks...



I have a routine in the mornings. I have to. I am just that kind of person. If only I could fit cleaning the bathroom into my current routine. It used to be there but some how since I got back from our trip to California it just hasn't happened. Anyway, I wake up to the sound of Gavin playfully talking in his crib and once he reaches "Hey get me out of here now," status I get out of bed and head to the kitchen. I dump as many finger foods as I can find on his high chair, strap him in and pour myself some cereal. I usually turn on the Today show and make an effort to wake up. When I finish eating cereal we move into the living room where I let the Today show echo in the background while I play with Gavin. Today they were featuring a man breaking a world record for walking and then riding a bike across a tight rope several (I forget how many) stories above the ground with out a net. While he is attempting a death defying act my son decides to take a few daring and wobbly steps of his own and of course I was proud. In parallel to a man walking a tight rope stories above the ground makes Gavin's first steps nothing to blog about but in my world they mean everything. I am just glad to say that he might not need a safety net for these kind of feats but he has one, me! I can't say how thankful I am to be here for these moments and then to share them with all of you. If there are any of you still out there since I never seem to update this but if you are out there reading this thank you! It means a lot to share the small moments in our world. We don't break any world records or even neighborhood records but no can say we enjoy the small the things like 3 tiny, wobbly and hard earned first steps.
