After crawling for almost 6 months and being inspired by his cousin, Justin, David decided to walk today. Not just one or two steps but, three steps at a time on three separate occasions. This past week he's enjoyed "walking" holding on to our fingers going up and down the hall and all around the apartment. He's been hesitant to let go and try a step on his own though. The first steps happened in the morning. He stood at the coffee table and I held out my arms and said "Come, David." To my surprise, he bravely took his steps with a big smile. It was such an awesome feeling to be there for his first steps. Of course, I went to get the video camera and tried to get him to repeat himself but he just wanted to play with the camera. The camera also choose that opportune moment to run out of batteries. So, we didn't try to walk again until later in the afternoon and he did it again for Daddy in the kitchen after dinner. Good job, little guy! We'll have to get the pictures later.
David has discovered several new foods since we've been here - some very tasty strawberries (he had three for dessert), cheese, Korean cookies/crackers, spaghetti, and hard boiled egg whites. He's learned to sign book, brush teeth, hair, TV, and egg. So, learning and growing continues in Korea. BTW, Happy St. Patrick's Day!
