the first steps

sorry for the delay in posting ... but big news in jackville this weekend -- he took his first real steps!

jack, mommy and daddy were all at the park when jack, distracted by a piece of mulch he was contemplating eating, just began taking several steps forward. he took about four or five before falling to his knees!

mommy was unsure if that should really count as "first steps" or as "first walking" or whatever. but, as daddy pointed out, we all three were present, and it was the first set of real steps (more than two) he'd taken, so by golly it was going to count!

jack has since repeated this feat later saturday and sunday, so seems like it's for real. unfortunately, he's not repeated it when we've had our camera at the ready, so you'll have to be patient on the photographic evidence of this marvel.

ah, our little boy is getting so big ... we're verklempt ... and proud.
