Kings and Princes: First Steps

Our Jared has been taking some steps recently. On September 13th, he took his first step...literally. Sam never did that...he started walking earlier but he just started lunging and taking several steps at once. On the other hand, Jared is really good at just standing which Sam never did. Jared is able to go from sitting to standing straight up and he'll stand for quite a while. He's more cautious...so on the 13th, he took 1 to 2 steps. On the 21st, he took 5 to 6 steps at Grandma and Grandpa King's house. It'll be soon I think before we have a little toddler toddling around!
