Eli is starting to walk!!!!

All day today Eli has been standing without holding on to anything. He was doing this for 30+seconds and waving,etc. So I thought I would see if he would walk to me. I was holding one of the balls that he got for his birthday to try and coax him to walk to me. Sure enough he did - he took 4 steps. Jared was home and got to see as well.
