RUS took his first two steps today!

It's been coming--we've been saying for a couple weeks now, "any day now, he's going to take that first step!"

Today, it happened! and J and I both saw it. RUS was holding on to J's hands with both hands, then J let go and he stood alone for a moment and then definitely moved both feet, one foot and then the other, and moved forward maybe half an inch. It counts, though!

RUS has been getting more and more confident with standing without holding on to anything, and I've seen him stand independently for 30 seconds or more while playing with toys in both hands. I wonder how quickly it will be before he really starts trying to walk!!

Here's a photo of him looking at our Christmas tree with Grampie at our holiday party:
