My boy...

My son took his first step on his own today. I never thought this would be a big deal...but he did it with nobody around but me. :p

I stood him up and let go of him and held out my arms...he reached for me and took a big step and stayed standing...it was a big enough step that he could then reach my hands...so I picked him up.
He is 9 months and 2 days old. We have been expecting this to happen any day now....but it happened today...with me. :D

The coolest thing about it...I was exactly 9 months and 2 days old when I took my first step. :eek: Really freaky...but incredibly cool!

Did I mention that I hate kids...but I like this one pretty darn well! :D

how cool.. aww i want kids!!! No wait.. no i dont

THat's awesome bro.....before you know it you'll be doing cycles together :eek:

Seriously..that had to be a wonderful moment in your life.Need to post up some pics of him bro..being the proud dad and all.

Will do! My laptop has all of the pics (desktop hard drive crashed). Laptop...is in the hospital...as soon as it gets home...I will post some pics of the boy....way more hair than his pops. 9 months old and has already had three hair cuts. I try to get them to save it...not for the same reasons his mom does...I want to transplant that stuff.

LMAOOOOOOOOOO at the hair transplant :lol:

Cool bro :)

Dont post any pics until youve learned him to pose ;)

Congrats to Li'l Swellin on his first steps. :)

Remember bro, they learn everything from watching you - so be sure to aspirate! ;)

way to be there.... did he say daddy first?? or Mommy??

it's a great experience........

Momma first...but now all he says is dada.

In fact, yesterday I was walking away from him and he yelled "Da" at me. I turned around to make sure he meant to call me, and he was staring at me. When I stopped walking, and turned..he started laughing. So, he really meant to get my attention...this was the first real confirmed ...calling for me.

Kind of makes everything else in the world less important doesn't it...

Glad all is well with you and your family.. :hello:

It is more difficult for a child to learn to pronounce the "D" sound than the "M." The "M" is labial, and very easy, where the "D" requires a certain dexterity with the tongue. For this reason almost all children say "Mama" first.

He must like you. :)

its funny how my mom says the total opposite....she always says i thought u'd get smarter with age but its the opposite with u huh....

Very awesome! Now, you get to chase him around everywhere you go from here on out. You will soon discover why you see those crazy moms with a kid on a leash! LOL Good luck and enjoy!

Thanks everybody. This is pretty cool.:banana:

Teach him to say "Cruisin for Chicks"

and take him to Dairy Queen......... positive reinforcement........

So in a group of people.. you say to him "What do we do when we go for a ride"

His response.. "Cruisin for Chicks"

always funny...........

Some pics as promised.

OMG, he is toooooo adorable. I love the last pic with the dog. The dog is pretty adorable as well! Lucky man!

HAHA...look at the hair donor :p
Great pictures swellin'........handesome little guy you got there..most have got the looks from mom :eek:
Look like he's gonna be a big boy also...congrats on the great pics bro and wonderful family.

All the best.

DB

Thanks folks.
He had his 9 month check up today. He was in the 80th percentil in weight and height. The doc said that was not exactly right, because he is not a fat baby...he is solid. In fact, he said "solid as a rock...he is gonna be a big ole boy."

Hell no, I'm not a proud poppa.:D :D :D

lol, aw man, your son is adorable/hilarious! His mop is so cute, it looks like he's wearing a tiny toupee.

Congratulations on the first steps.. I remember my own very well. It was a proud moment for both my father and I.

Bro thats great!!!

My neice just took her first steps last week. She is 9 months old also. I love little kids as long as they arent mine :)

very cool man looks like a strong healthy kid
