I am SO glad I have this blog. I just spent a few minutes reading entries from 2 years ago, when Alex was the age Thomas is now. I love reading about things that I haven't thought about in a long time, and might have forgotten! For example, when Alex was less than a year old, he was able to make a sound imitating the sound of the Pledge being sprayed as I was cleaning. I VAGUELY remember that, but I really wish I could go back and see it! It is so sad that these are distant memories. In a way, I can't wait to have older kids, but in another way, it is going WAY too fast. And by the way, why isn't Thomas making that same sound? Probably because my cleaning skills aren't what they used to be. :)
So why was I looking back at old blog posts? Well, I had to see exactly what date it was when Alex took his first steps. He took his first steps at one year and nine days old. And today, at one year and three days old, Thomas took his first steps! So he's the winner! Although it took another 2 months for Alex to really get going, and I'm guessing Thomas will be the same way.
Unfortunately, Erik wasn't here to witness it, but I did get to share the moment with my best friend, Megan. We were enjoying a nice fall like evening playing in her driveway when Thomas suddenly just decided to take 4 steps! Megan looked at me, and I screamed, and jumped up and down, and high fived. It was a great moment.
And that's tonight's excitement from Boomerang Drive!
