We are learning, first-hand, what "toddler" really means. Drew is now toddling, and we have the video to prove it! Here are a few of his first steps - motivated by a cell phone held just out of reach. (Who needs the colorful and expensive toys littering our family room floor, anyway?)
We admit that he looks like a drunken sailor. (I won't comment about which side of the family that comes from...) But in the few days since this video was taken, Drew has gained quite a bit of confidence and walks happily around the house. And 'round, and 'round, and 'round. Seriously, we're dizzy all the time! He just learned to pull himself up from the floor into a standing and walking position. In fact, I think I just heard him ask Jeff to borrow the keys to the car on his way toward the garage.
And we couldn't resist adding this next clip. Aunt Laura, Uncle Dennis, and cousins Riley, Cameron and Melanie brought Drew a colorful play tunnel for his first birthday. At first glance, Drew was leary. But give him a day, and he's mastered the art of tunnel crawling.
Of course, he was once again motivated by the cell phone - but I think it's hilarious that he throws it into the tunnel on his own. Then again, I think everything is hilarious. I'm a first time mom in awe of life's little joys.
