He's Walking!

How cool is that? I've been saying I really wanted Eli to walk by his first birthday. He would take a step here and there but on his birthday he would just get the courage to walk from one side of the room to the other. I'm not saying he's a full-time walker, yet...but he has really taken big strides this week. Earlier I was laying on my bed and he was giggling at himself as he walked from dresser to dresser and then to the bed. He was so proud of himself. His birthday party is Saturday. I'm looking forward to him showing off a little for all the visitors. We've got a big one planned. There will be 40+ with adults and kids counted if everyone is able to make it. I'm glad his birthday is in the summer where we can have an outdoor party. We're even going to roast marshmallows and make s'mores over a fire pit.
