Sammy's first steps

Sammy took his first steps on Friday night.  It was almost a total accident and he probably won't do it again for a while, but it was cute.  My sister Janelle and I were passing him between us just making him walk by holding our hands... if someone lets go of his hands he usually stops moving and dives forward towards you instead of walking.  But when we tried to show my mom how he dives forward... he walked instead.  Huh.  That came as kind of a fun surprise to me.  He took 3 steps before he fell into Janelle's arms.  Within the space of a month Sammy started to really crawl, do stairs, stand and walk... I think he's figuring things out. (Though I doubt he'll really walk on his own for a while... it's going to take some practice I think.) 

It's really funny the difference in Ada and Sammy about things like this.  Sammy has to test it and try it... ie: walking around pushing things and holding onto things.  While Ada just decided one day that she was ready and just started walking... none of the one or two steps for her... she just walked back and forth between mom and dad until she was tired and that was it.  Both ways are fun... but it makes me wonder how each of them will handle school and friends and other challenges!
