The next moment

So tonight was a big night. All weekend I've been tiring to get Zao to stand on his own for other people because he always seemed to do it only when I was watching. So tonight Kris just plops him down and he stands on his own. I always have to move away slowly and encourage him. Then he shifts his feet to keep his balance. As parents we could have called that his first steps but that would be cheap because it really wasn't intentional (or even steps). However the seeds were planted, so we set him down again and call him to us and bam he walks right over. It was only a few steps but it was exciting nonetheless. The great thing was that we were both there. I really don't know how one can catch these moments on 'film' because we never have the camera at the right time. After reading all that this is the video you get. The elusive 'standing without help.' Kris made me remove the audio because she didn't like her voice so you get the silent film verson. Enjoy!
