Ethan started taking his first proper steps at 14 months. It was the morning of our holiday to Dorset. He then carried on taking more and more steps, he walked hand in hand with his Dad and I on the beach and throughout our adventures in Dorset.
And then since we've been back home, his steps have turned into fall blown walking. He occasionally falls down, but he will just get himself right back up and carry on. What's amazing to me is that this is my baby, my once tiny, fragile newborn baby, who now casually totters about on his feet!
He's growing more and more steady everyday and he's getting faster. Adam and I watched him tonight circling round and round on the rug for literally about twenty minutes, clearly just practicing; growing his confidence and learning all about his brand new skill.
The pride I feel watching him is hard to put into words. I've been having so many of those moments that kind of take your breath away as a parent, those moments when you so proud of your child that your heart feels that it might just burst.
I just hope he knows how much I love him and how much joy he brings to my life every single day.
