We have a full time walker

It's official, Karsen has taken off. Today, Karter had a preschool field trip at a water park. Perfectly enough, Karsen's pt got cancelled because of a staff meeting so we were all able to go. Karsen was everywhere! He was walking on the cement (which still makes me nervous) and then continued on uneven surfaces like the wood chip area of the playground. I was impressed. He didn't butt scoot once. In fact he would get mad when he would need to sit down for a second. It was exhausting for me but also really near to see Karsen keep up with kids just a bit younger than him. Next, we just need to tackle going upstairs and getting up on his own to stand without holding on to things, then it will be really fun at the park. I feel like we are finally moving out of baby zone and into toddler territory. Well, we've been here and he understands more than kids just entering toddler territory, so I guess it just feels more comfortable to be here now. Happy to be here, proud to be here, and oh so ready.
