Lucas took his first REAL step last night!!! Here's what happened.....
Last night, I decided to prepare a traditional southern dish, chopped steak with sauteed onions and gravy. Typically we avoid such fatty foods, but I think it's okay to splurge every so often. Mashed potatoes, green peas, and squash rounded out the menu. Lucas played on the kitchen floor while I prepared the food. We played "catch" with a rubber ball for entertainment until Lucas couldn't wait another minute to eat! (It was already after 7pm.) After giving him some grapes in his highchair, I picked up the pot of boiling potatoes, proceded to knock over the frying (hot) pan of meat, and spill grease all over my kitchen floor! Thank you Lord that Lucas was off the floor! I'm not letting my mind explore the possiblity of what could have happened if he was still under my feet.
Fast forward through a clean kitchen, a vegetarian meal, and to us three playing "catch" on the kitchen floor. After catching the ball from Lucas, I held it out to him high above his head. In his efforts to grab the ball, Lucas stood up and took one complete step towards me, without any "help" from us!! We cheered so loudly he started to cry! (You know how senstive Lucas is to noise!)
I look forward to seeing what steps today brings! Oh, this is so exciting!
