Charlie can walk!!!!!

Well we knew it would happen eventually....and we figured it would be in Hawaii - and sure enough it happened!!!! Thursday, May 24 - was the official day!

For a couple of weeks before we left for Hawaii...Charlie was getting sooo close to walking. It started with him "forgetting" to hold on to the table/couch - and would just stand on his own. He would also take a step or two from the coffee table to the couch. And he was liking to walk with us - holding our hands. While in Hawaii - he would walk lots with us holding just one hand - one finger actually! Then he would let go of our hand and take a couple of steps....but then on Thursday night....totally out of the blue - he started walking!!!! We were in my parents room - and I didn't have my camera - but my mom quickly grabbed the video camera - so we have it on video! He was even able to get up to standing when he fell down - it was like all of a sudden he knew what to do!! It was pretty exciting! Of course he just wanted to run...forget this walking...running is better!!!!! But he's still a bit shakey!
We are sooo proud of Charlie!!!!

(Oh how our life will change...yet again!!!!!)
