Big Baby Ben took his first real steps just the day after his 1-year birthday party, which was just 4 days short of his actual birthday. Pretty exciting for him and for us. He’d been doing a lot of just standing on his own, and on this morning our neighbors came over with their almost 1-year old and the 2 kids were playing a bit together. He was standing again, and had this determination in his stance, Kelly and I both recognized that it looked like it was about to happen, and I quickly grabbed the video camera and captured it. I think Ben wanted to impress little Peter with his skills!
