I'm So Proud!!

Nile took his official first steps yesterday. The first one happened while Nick was at work. It was a tiny little step, but it was indeed a step. When Nick got home I reported the exciting news and he refused to accept that he had missed it. When I described the step to him he said "Well, if that counts as a step, then he did his first step with ME yesterday." I of course refused to accept that version of the events and told Nick that the step that I had witnessed was in fact the first step and he'd better just accept it. And then, as if to shut us up, Nile took three glorious, consecutive steps across the kitchen. It was the most wonderful thing, it brought a tear to my eye (really!!). And ever since he's been demonstrating his stepping power non-stop. He's still shaky, of course, but he's steppin'.
