Henry walks!!!!

Okay, maybe it was only two steps. Then he fell over. I didn't even get to see it, my DH was at home with him while I was at work this evening. I can't believe it! I am in sooo much trouble! Already keeping him out of things has been a challenge, but now...

I can't believe my baby is disappearing right before my eyes. This is probably the only baby I will ever get to have, and he seems to be on an accelerated path to toddlerhood. Going, going, gone!

I know that all mothers feel as though their child is the most fascinating, clever child ever born, but I can't help feeling that he is!!! I can't stop watching him in amazement. I know you all feel that way too.

I see other babies in the clinic at work, and children, and I reminisce about where he has been, and fantasize about the next things he will do. Correction...we will do! I can't stop staring at them, enthralled by all they do.

I have such mixed feelings right now. I am so proud of him, I can't even believe it. Henry is 9 months, 2 weeks and one day old today and he walked. I have a toddler by definition, not a baby. He will always be my baby...even when there are white hairs on his head and grandchildren on his knee, he will be mine. I am so lucky.

Henry, please don't grow up so fast...it breaks my heart even as it bursts with pride!!!!

I am so proud of Henry!  I agree with you, he's absolutely amazing.  And you... you will truly enjoy the adventure of toddlerhood.  As you recognize how precious these times are, you will take the time to relish each moment.  Don't worry -- you may be losing a baby, but you have gained so much more!

Yeah, Henry!
