Blue suede shoes

The all-leather Robeez shoes were no longer good enough for feet support as he was cruising. Besides, when Dex started daycare, we needed to get him a pair of rubber-soled indoor shoes so we got him these cute and ever-so-perfect-for-physics-profs-if-it-came-in-adult-sizes blue suede sandals.

There was a rumour from his daycare teachers that he was walking, but he did not show much evidence of it in our presence. Suddenly, last Friday night, he decided it was time to demonstrate his new skill. He walked all over the house. From toy station to toy station. From the kitchen to the living room. From the bedroom to the hallway. He was ever so proud of himself. I cried when I saw him take his first six or seven consecutive steps. My baby is growing up.

He hasn't stopped walking since.
