It was amazing to watch him take his first steps. The weekend it happened, I was back in Miami for a quick trip to watch my Hurricanes beat the Gators! After the game on Saturday, I went over to my aunt's house for dinner with the extended family, and we decided to Facetime Lizzy and Wyatt so they could say hello. To EVERYONE's delight and surprise, Wyatt decided to walk across the room toward the iPad without sitting down once on the way! I was so glad that everyone had the chance to share what was Wyatt's first true walking experience. The funny part is, Wyatt is notorious for being shy when we ask him to show the grandparents his newly acquired skills. But on that day, he decided to put on a show.
Since then, he has been walking all over and the new focus is trying to make sure he doesn't fall forward and hit his head on anything too hard. (it's happened a couple of times already) He has also learned where his head and belly button are. And in the past week or so, he has begun to finally say "Dada". Now THAT is awesome.
Anyhow, everyday I shake my head in amazement of that boy, and how quickly he is growing up. Can't we just pause for a bit? Soak it all in, and enjoy it more than we already are?
