10 months

Tomorrow Cole will be 10 months old and yesterday he took his first steps. He's been practicing standing unsupported. He'll stand next to the sofa holding on, and every so often he'll through his arms up in the air and see how long he can stand. When he's excited he'll flap his arms in the air as if to fly which is very cute but it doesn't help his balance at all.

Cole has taken one step a few times before but he always fell right away so we didn't count it. But yesterday, he took 3 steps towards me to pull his hat off my head when we were playing. The best part was that both Tony and I were there to see the whole thing. I guess we'll have to buy him some shoes before our next trip to NJ, but for now he's a happy barefoot, 5-tooth toddler.
