Two Steps



It's not just the name of a Dave Matthews Band song anymore, it's what Bennet just did half an hour ago!!! He is 11 months and 2 days old. He was leaning on me with one hand and eating a piece of string cheese with the other. He decided he needed both hands to shove the last bit of cheese in his mouth so he let go of me, stood upright for about 10 seconds, then just looked at Caryn and I and took 2 steps before sitting down on his butt. He didn't seem to understand why we were so excited but did manage to clap his hands and smile. Plus, since Caryn and I were both right there, it is an official "first walk." Coincidentally, the video camera wasn't charged and the regular camera didn't have a memory stick in it (the pic is from a few weeks ago). I can't wait for Ben to take 15 steps because that's the title of a Radiohead song (the greatest band ever). It's been a helluva year! Merry (early) Christmas.
