Max officially walks for the first time

Max took four steps today, completely unprompted and unaided.  Indeed, Sandi is the only person who witnessed the entire episode from start to finish.  The rest of us caught the last couple steps, alerted by Sandi's raucous hooting.

He started from a seated position and for no apparent reason stood up all by himself and walked until he fell.  Everyone clapped and cheered.  Max looked around bewildered and wondering what all the fuss was about.

  1. No video? Didn't happen. I use this law to feign ignorance about all sorts of things that people insist on saying I did.

  2. Psst... Max? Sit DOWN! Once they peg you as "capable" it's work, work, work.

  3. Greta and Gus,

    Congratulations on this terrific accomplishment. You have renewed my faith in the parents of today. Where would the children be without you? Walking? I think NOT ;)

    Keep up the good work.

  4. Sandi,

    Your plan went off without a hitch. Who would have thought that they would have fallen so easily for the old "balance the baby and push him so he stumbles over, looking like he's just taken his first steps" trick.

    Nice!

  5. If Sandi knew how to use a computer, you can bet she'd post a scathing reply that would put you in your place.
