Jake started to walk on his own today. He did this much like the first time when he was 14 months old. Except when he did it the first time, he was in school and Mark and I missed it. But this time, we were there to see it. It was wonderful.
He first stood up on his own withouth holding on to anything. Then he steadied himself, legs wide apart for balance and walked without assistance. I was so happy that I called out "hey Mark!" Jake was happy with himself as well so he called out "hey Mark" repeatedly. Everyone there, Popa, Grammy, Nancy, Dan, Isaac, Madeleine, Eric, Heather, Jeff, Mom and Dad all cheered.
I saw beautiful moments tonight. Jake walked towards everyone he loved and gave them a hug. He was so happy with himself.
Jake and his cousins played with their Christmas toys. They also had a ball riding a makeshift sled down Popa's stairs. Jake didn't want to leave but he was getting tired. Jake feeling better and walking again was the best Christmas gift. Pictures to follow...
