Walking business

As you may remember, Evan is not walking yet. He walks with us holding his hand, but he’s not really walking solo yet. He took a few steps by himself a couple of weeks ago, but then he got sick and stopped all efforts to try again. Until last week. Last week he started standing on his own for a few seconds to just over a minute, for the first time. He seemed to be gaining confidence. Once or twice, he even repeated the feat of taking a couple of steps, but no more than four steps at a time.

But tonight, Evan started venturing more steps. I think I counted just over 10 steps at a time. He still goes down to his knees all the time, but he’s getting there. He’s realizing this walking thing might be worth the effort. It may take a couple more weeks for him to really walk all the time, but we’re getting there.
