His first steps....

....and I didn't even get to see. :(

Marc-Adam took his first steps today. While I was at church.

He stayed with my parents this morning while I went to church. I got a voicemail in between the service and Sunday School from my mom saying he took 3 steps to his Papa. It's bittersweet. I was excited because I knew it was coming very very soon, but I was also totally bummed because I spend most of his waking moments caring for him and playing with him and helping him grow. Then I leave for an hour and he gets up and runs around the room.

Ok, not really. But that's what it looked like in my head until I could get back to see him.

*sigh* And since he's the baby, it's sad to see him grow up so fast. He'll be a year old on Friday. Can't someone just slow this down a tad?

My parents are under strict orders that nothing happens to my children for the first time when I am not there. Their first steps do not happen until I see it. I would shoot my mom if she told me Luke walked and I missed it. :)

I deal with that all the time in my job. I NEVER tell parents when their kids crawl or walk or whatever. I wait until they tell me it happened.

and usually you can't get 'em to show off!

"show papa how you can walk!!" and the kid plops down and crawls. :)

well, if he took three steps while you were at church, he WILL be running around the house in no time! at least you'll be there when he's getting into everything!heehee:):):)

It doesn't count until you see it! If you were not there to see it, it hasn't happened yet!
