it walks!

Yep, that's right. According to the folks behind the What to Expect series of books, we have a toddler on our hands.



Elias has been taking two or three steps at a time on and off for much of this past week. Neal managed to not only capture the toddling on video but also during one of Elias's longest walks so far. And of course I've watched this short clip about a million times. It's funny because the first year has been one milestone after another and yet there's something about Elias's first steps that just makes me want to cry. In a good way, mostly, or rather, in that bittersweet, they grow up so fast kind of way.
