The past couple weeks we've definitely seen a new confidence in Matthew: he is now okay if we only hold one of his hands when walking. The past few days I've been 'removing' my hand from his while walking, leaving him to take a couple steps on his own before he got to his destination.
When we got to my parents' tonight I set Matthew down and started him on his way to see Candice. He took a few steps on his own...and then luckily Candice started moving backwards because he KEPT GOING! He took 10 steps!
We 'practiced' with him a little later, and he did 14 steps! This is quite exciting! My little boy (who can't even stand on his own!) is learning to walk! YAY!
After struggling with infertility for three years, we were blessed with the birth of Matthew and Kayla in March 2011 (by in vitro) , Nathan in October 2013 (by frozen embryo transfer), and Olivia in August 2015 (naturally!). We are loving every moment (well, almost!) of our lives as parents.
yay Matthew! It must look so cute :)
