I love this stage.
The boy is so darn close to walking , each day he gets that little bit stronger and that little bit more confident. Today at times he was taken 5/6 steps in one go before falling down. I have been looking forward to this for months but now that its here im feeling sad. Im never going to get the excitement of first steps again…
From the beginning of my pregnancy i looked forward to getting the first year over and done with , babies are hard work and just not as much fun as toddlers . Now im almost through it with my last , im never going to hold a newborn child of mine again and it tugs at my heart strings just a little.
Its hard to put down in words the pride and love i feel for him as he takes these first steps into boy hood , im starting to see him as a toddler – as someone who will one day be completely independent of me .
Rebecca will be starting school in a year , Eilidh starts nursery in January and in just over a year Ru could start playgroup. There all growing up and im just not ready ….
(Just the boy and our morning game of me trying to get him dressed)


LOVE it!!
SO cute!!!
Love the video clip! Your post made me smile – and a bit wistful too… My youngest (of four) is 2 1/2 now, and that whole “hooray she’s done it… oh no, one step further away from me..” is very close to my heart. I’ve made you our Blog Love of the week post, btw.
Oh this pulls at my heart strings ad he isn’t even mine! I do know how you feel though as it seems my pregnancy is moving by so fast and i am sure the fist year will go by even faster.
