Evan took a few tiny steps tonight before dinner. I held up one of the books about cows (he loves cows - moo moo!) and he stood looking at the pictures and pointing to the cows and saying moo moo. I moved back a little, distancing the book from him so he would move forward to continue to point at the cow pictures. He hesitated but then took two little steps all by himself before falling down immediately. I did this a few times, so in all, he probably took maybe 4 total steps!
This was not the first time he took a few tiny steps. He first took a step on his own in the park a few weeks back (8/21/11 sunday). I even jotted down the time (11:17 am). We were in a recessed cemented circle and another boy (maybe 3 yrs old?) was playing at the edge of the circle (we were in the middle). Evan was curious about the boy (i think he was riding a bike?) and started going in the boy's direction, forgetting that I wasn't holding him. He took a big step and fell. June and I were so excited and clapped to show our excitement. Evan was excited as well though a little confused about the commotion.
