Happy 2015 everyone! 2014 was the most amazing year ever, and I'm super excited about what this new year will bring. It's already started off with a bang, as Colin has started WALKING!!! He took his very first steps on Christmas Day, at Nani and Pop Pop's house in Florida. We had noticed that he was gaining some confidence in his balance, and letting go of furniture to hold on to a toy or to clap his hands. So, we began encouraging him to take a few steps on his own...and I think he was more excited about his success than we were! (OK, it was probably an equal amount of excitement!) It started out with just 2 or 3 steps at a time, getting from Mommy to Daddy as we sat on the floor. The next day, he made 4 or 5 steps on his own, and then on Marshall's birthday he walked about 6 or 7 steps! All on his own! Such a big boy (and such proud parents) :) He's been getting braver each day, and just this week he's attempted to let go on his own to walk a few steps toward his destination. Colin is discovering a whole new way to navigate this big world, and I think he's ready for the challenge. Last night, he even followed me around the couch! He doesn't seem to be discouraged by falling every now and then, and he's so determined to figure it out. In the meantime, we're having a ball practicing, cheering, and taking as much video as we can! Here's a few exciting moments for you to enjoy!
