RYAN'S FINALLY WALKING ON HIS OWN!!!! *woohoo*

*WOOHOO!!!* my lil boy is finally walking on his own unaided!!! wat a milestone it is today! for weeks now we have been trying to entice him to walk on his own by standing at least about 1m away and each time after a few steps, he will plomp on his butt and start crawling towards us! so we kinda concluded he's just plain lazy and would rather crawl faster to get to his destination! hehehe... we were at guild house having dinner with the entire family to celebrate baby ethan's 1st month. halfway through dinner, uncle rodney revealed that with his "method", ryan could walk more than 10 steps on his own and i was flabbergasted! OMG! i stopped munching and demanded a re-enactment rightaway! he stood and said "watch this!" he went over to ryan who was busily chasing his cousins ian and chrissy around, of course strolling from chair to chair. rod brought ryan to a fairly open space and with mama in the distance as 'target', he said "let's walk to mama". ryan with his outstretched hands, seemingly to balance himself as if on a tight rope, began walking steadily towards mama! and as we counted the number of steps! it soon reached 10 and counting!! i was like *speechless*. uncle steven immediately took out his videocam and said "Again!" and that was precisely wat ryan did! hehehehehe.... another fantastic reward of parenthood!!!! alas, it may be the start of our nitemare of chasing him around now! it was truly a sight to behold and soon after even the maids were trying to entice ryan to walk towards different 'targets'! ehehehhe... it seems that each time that baby ethan has a milestone, ryan would celebrate it with one of his own! just like when baby ethan was born and ryan took his first steps! and today, another milestone together! gong gong brought ryan out towards the lounge for a "walk" with ryan in tow and he was happily laughing/screaming away! he must be overwhelmed with his new found skill minus the lack of confidence! I AM ONE PROUD DADDY!! hahahahaha.... he must be really exhausted after all that walking cos he's fast alseep next to me now. my lil rascal aka pride & joy! till the next milestone!
