Owen got to visit with Grandma today while Mama went into work for a little bit. Apparently, while I was away, Owen took his first steps. I don't know if I beleive Gerandma or not. Just kidding Mom - you know I beleive you.:)
So, here is the story... while holding onto the coffee table, Owen realized Grandma was too far away to also hold onto. While the coffee table has it's attractions, Owen decided what he really
wanted was Grandma, so he let go of the coffee table, took two steps (one with each foot) and grabbed onto Grandma's hand. She said he didn't even realize he had done it.Once I got home all Owen wanted to do was eat the paper towel roll and smash my glasses with the turkey baster. Nice, eh?!
So all afternoon I have been trying to get him to walk - or even just stand on his own, but Mama is not nearly the temptation of Grandma, and he just won't do it. He's not even close. But today is the day that will go in the baby books as his
first steps. Maybe he'll walk for us on Christmas, and that can be his gift to us. It's a nice thought, eh?!

nice job, buddy - keep practising so we can race next week!
Good for you Owen. Try giving him some food or a toy to hold onto. jacob walked for us when holding onto both cause he didn't realize that he was doing it. Of course Steve and I were jumping up and down and laughing
hey, how did your meeting go?
Congratualtions Owen!
I forgot to tell you Amy, Joshua would only walk for Smarties for the first few weeks. They are not dumb kids ... they want something for their efforts! :P
