My baby walked (and I missed it)

Ugh.  Why did my husband have to tell me?!?!  Elijah took 4 steps this morning and supposedly was quite proud of himself.  Apparently, this also tired him out as he immediately started napping following his steps.  He is growing up.  

[pugz]

aww he is growing up!

my husband was dead set on not missing this first steps. Every night he worked with her on it until she took those first steps.

Aww!

H insists that DS walked in the AM on his first birthday (when I didnt see it) but I refuse to believe this happened and insist that the first time I saw him walk (later that day) was his first time walking. H lets me pretend :-)

[lolo]

I don't remember specifically when DD took her first steps. There were a couple where we weren't sure if she stepped on purpose or by accident. So, see, even being there isn't always a momentous occasion.

But good job E! Do it again when your mama can see you.

Aww, sorry you missed it!

I told my husband that if Z started walking when he was not there I would stop him.

[hermione]

Yay, E! Sorry you missed it.

Is it weird that I was happy that DS3 took his first steps when he was with DH and not me? DH works and I SAH, so I get to see most of the firsts. DH was so unbelievably happy that DS walked first for him that I was more happy for DH than sad about missing it.

I took videos every time DD seemed to be trying to walk, so I have it recorded. Way to go E!
