Sophia has been living for the day her brother would become a playmate. Ever since the day he was born she has tried to play with him. And it took some time for her to comprehend that he couldn't play with her the way all the kids at school can.
So it was only fitting that on her birthday, Ryland went from standing on his own, to taking 4 steps before melting into the ground. His legs would literally turn to jello an he'd slowly slide downwards :).
That Friday I picked Ryland up from daycare and Ms. Diane says "We've been on the go a lot today!" And smiled. When we got home we fully understood what she meant. Ryland was walking!! All by himself. And it's the cutest thing. Sometimes he heads straight for his intended goal. Others, it's almost like he sees what he wants, his balance gets a little off-course, and he looks straight but heads left. :). I love the early-walker stage!
From the ways that Sophia now interacts with Ryland, it's obvious that his walking was the best present she could have received.
