Up & About !!

Place : Gong Gong's House
Date : 11 February
Time: Suddenly

Lucas got up and started walking around the house !! On his own ! He just started walking & walking, without hesitation, without holding on. It started with a few steps from the couch to the TV (yup :P he's already a TV addict, but more of that another time), then from the TV back to the couch and soon after that, he started walking around the living room.

We were quite afraid of him falling so we followed him closely, and even holding on to him at times, but we really didn't need to. Lukey was determined to walk on his own.

Yesterday, he did more walking. He attempted longer distances and could even say, "all dow" when he fell. But clever Lukey instinctively holds out his arms to cushion the fall. He also knows to fall on his padded bum. He even refuses our help by pushing us away when we hold him.

He's walking quite steadily now and he gets up effortlessly from a "squat" position. He's even pushing his "walker" around with one hand (while holding on to something else in the other). Oh.. and he even knows how to "go stun" (astern) when he walks his walker into an obstacle !

The pix are in my camera at the moment. Will upload them tonight !

My clever nephew !!
