Tonight, Liam took his first few solo steps! He was pushing his little red car all over the kitchen, perhaps trying to run over the dog. He stopped, just beside his high chair, and stood by himself for a moment. Then he took three or four steps towards me, right into my arms. It was all on his own, and I think the trick was that he wasn't thinking about it.
He hasn't really repeated the feat, but in his defense, he was very tired.
How fitting that Liam took his first steps on St. Patrick's Day.

About Bean
- Baby Bean
- I was born on 3/1/07 at 10:27pm in Seattle. I can sleep through the night and I love books. I smile at every one I meet. I'm not a morning person. I love to read books; in fact, usually it's the first thing I do in the morning and the last thing before bed. My favorite book is Green Eggs and Ham (Previously Moo, Baa, La La La and Twinkle Twinkle). My best friend is Devin. We do a lot together. Sometimes we don't like to share. I can say a lot of words, but I think I'm often misunderstood. I voted for Obama. I don't like mac and cheese. My favorite day is Friday, because that's when the garbage truck comes. I've been to seven states, including Washington.
