That first step

No, Charlie isn't walking yet. He's THIS close but no significant movement forward on his own two feet at this time. People keep asking me, 'is he walking yet?'. I had been getting annoyed by this, but when I really stop to consider this milestone, I almost am not ready for him to walk just yet. Walking may be easier on my back, but it really means that my baby boy is growing up. Soon, instead of reaching his arms for me, he'll be running the other direction. I think I'll take my crawler for a little longer, thank you very much. You just take your time, baby boy.
