James took his first steps...

...that is what the ladies in the nursery at church said when I came to pick James up after Sunday school. What! James doesn't even crawl yet, how could he be walking already? He does love to walk around if you hold his hands, and he is getting pretty good at toddling around the house. He is also very insistent that he wants to stand sometimes, and I guess he was politely insisting all morning in the nursery that he would rather stand then sit and play with his toys. So the sweet nursery ladies were letting him stand, and at one point they felt he was well balanced so they let go. Then he took three steps and then fell over. Three steps all by himself!

So far John and I have not witnessed an unsupported step and when I do hopefully I will have the camera in hand. I can't believe he is starting to walk...guess it is time to really baby proof the house!

Wow and yay for James! I'm crossing my fingers that you do have the video camera in hand when James decides to show you his new moves.

Happy Thanksgiving to the Turners!
