3 Small Steps for Trey…

…One giant excited dad!

Twice in the past couple weeks Trey has taken a single step to get from one place to another. However, among the great philosophical questions in life is that of “How many steps defines walking?” 1 step? 2 steps? 3 steps? 4? (Am I reading a Dr. Seuss book?).

We’ve decided 3 steps is the minimum requirement and we are thrilled that Trey has started walking the day before he turned 8 months old (much like when he crawled the day before turning 6 months).Today Trey pulled himself up to stand by the wall, then turned around, held his hands out and took three steps towards me. I instantly turned into “that parent who gets excited about anything” that I swore I’d never be and had to call Heidi immediately to let her know the news.

The same day he also stood for about 15 seconds on his own in the middle of the room. He would have probably stood longer but he got very excited and began waving his arms and lost his balance.

Hooray for Trey!
