The Road to Walking....

Sorry to anyone following this that I haven't posted much this week. I've been disgustingly sick with the flu (I picked up from Hudson) and have been struggling to do stuff.

Anyway, had to post about out excitement here yesterday. Hudson took his first 2 and a half steps. Then did the same at 2 other times over the day. It was sooooo cute. I cried. I think my crying actually frightened him a bit but if only he knew how proud I was.
I've been doing so much reading on the Huggies Forum the last couple of weeks about what other children have done in lead up and as usual it seems like Hudson has done a little of everything to get to this point. He started army crawling just before 5 months. Then full up on knees crawling at 5 and a half months. Started pulling himself up on furniture that week. Within 2 weeks was walking around holding onto furniture. Did a couple of weeks where he would just stand on his own for a few seconds, gradually going for longer periods at each time. Then he started last week this funny walking on his knees thing. Then there was there was the big moment yesterday. I was sitting a bit behind him as he was standing at the tv unit and just for fun go "Come on buddy, walk to Mum Mum"....he gave me the world's biggest grin and proceeded to stagger towards me like a little drunk person. I was blown away and yes the tears started to flow in amongst all my flu yuckies. I kept trying to get video footage then of him doing it, but he gets so distracted by the camera and forgets what he is doing and either stops to pose for a smile, or drops to the ground and crawls over to try and grab it off me!
The wonderful moments of parenting just keep on coming.......
