Oliver is on the Move

I realized the other day that I really haven't posted any videos of Oliver walking.  About 3 or 4 weeks ago I took Oliver to the mall to play in the play area.   Up until that point he had taken 5 or 6 steps on his own but just in between objects and was hesitant to do any more.  But at the mall he decided it was time and took more like 10 or 15 steps all by himself.  I was so excited I looked around expectantly to see if anyone else was as overjoyed as I was and then I remembered I was in the middle of the mall in the middle of a whole bunch of strangers who had no idea he just take 15 steps for the first time.   
  No one can prepare you for motherhood and the challenges and triumphs that come with it. And no one can prepare you for what it feels like to watch your child WALK for the FIRST time.   You never thought anything could make you more proud! 
Now Oliver walks around and goes wherever he wants.  In this video he is exploring at Mima's house.    Watching him walk cracks Michael and I up.  He really looks like such a little man.  Hope you enjoy watching him as we do!
