Ready, set.....psych!

Over the past several days, we have seen more of Xaye making efforts to stand and walk independently. He will take several steps and either grab onto something - or someone - or sit down - PLOP! - on his bottom.

I cringe at bath time as he wobbles to and from the edges of the tub, pausing to clap his hands or attempt to stomp his feet while maintaining balance on a slippery slope....

I am excited to see him walk - then run - however - not looking forward to the countless bumps, bruises - and deep, deep breathes that procede a wail of pain.....
