My husband was away this past week on business.
When my husband is away… my mother, my father and my sister become my lifesavers.
Especially my mother.
She spends 24/7 with all of us.
And this past week… even though we all had the flu and Pink Eye… she didn’t bat an eye (even though she ended up coming down with both on Thursday!).
So… you can imagine the DELIGHT of ALL OF US (beyond the coughs, sneezes, sore throats and red/blurry eyes) when Benjamin stood up and walked 5 steps to me to grab his blankie!!
We were shocked.
5 STEPS!!
And then he did it again.
And then again.
And then for Daddy that night when he got home.
And has continued to get stronger and better (and more confident) each day!
It was a BIG DAY in our house!!
OK… HUGE DAY!!
My little man Benjamin is a walker!! And even though he’s almost 11 months… and still the baby of the family, he will have another brother joining us in 3 1/2 months… so, the fact that he’s now walking… makes me feel like he’s really getting to be in the BIG BROTHER mode.

yay, Benjamin!!! What an exciting milestone.. now if we can get him out of diapers before number 2!!! Congrats!
By number 2, I, OF COURSE ment number 4!
Oh hurrah!!!!!
Ick to the flu and Pink Eye! Hope you all are better soon!
Yah that’s great! When number 3 (Moe) was born, Meenie (at age 15 months) had just finally taken her first steps the week before. It was such a relief that she could be upright and I didn’t have to carry two.
Yay for Benjamin! How exciting for you all!
That is so awesome! Congrats to little Benjamin!
Congratulations! How fun!!
That is great!! My babies were all late walkers. Joel was my earliest and he was 15 months! Yeah for Benjamin!!
How wonderful!!
Hope you are all better soon….And congrats on the “first” steps! That has been one of my most exciting moments as a Mommy!
Way to go, Benjamin! π
Congratulations to Benjamin!! What a big milestone! π
What an exciting time!! I am getting over the flu and my son has it now so I am caring for him. What a wonderful mom you have to chip in and help!!
Woooohooo! He’s a big boy now! There’s an old saying about the baby walking to get out of the way for the next! Apparently, Benjamin knows it too!
Doesn’t it help having another one on the way, when you see your “babies” growing up ? π
I have a question….I’m expeciting baby #3 in three years…i Know you’ve been there done that…how do you leave the house by yourself. Right now I can put the toddler in the shopping cart and sling the baby…what what do you do when there is a need for a second sling….and what kind of stroller do you use? Help!
Yay, Benjamin!
Hope you’re feeing well, Audrey. Take care.
Ahww…congratulations to your little walker
