...it was getting to the point where Mom and Dad were wondering what it would take to get him to let go. After all, we're just days away from his turning 18 months old, not to mention days away from the "after August" spot on our long-standing poll at the right for readers to guess the magic day. And yet, Dad had a suspicion it might be coming this weekend. When he picked Jonas up from daycare on Friday, it seemed that the Big Guy was trying to push away. So with some encouragement from Mom and Dad yesterday, Jonas finally figured it out. The first time came at his Mima's house, with all three of us encouraging him on (four if you count Mima's dog Moxie, who seems as proud as Jonas in this video...)
...but when we got home, Jonas showed us that what had happened was no fluke, taking another small trip, this time falling into Dad...
...but Jonas saved the best for last. Just a few minutes later, he showed us he was ready to cruise down the whole hallway. And oh was he proud of himself...
...Mom and Dad had a great night sleep knowing they were at last the parents of a boy who can walk. Now, as we've been warned over and over, comes the fun part.
