Brendan turned 11 months yesterday and conquered a major accomplishment! He took his first steps! No he had been taking a step here and there from the couch to the coffee table and so on, he also has been able to stand on his own for a week or so. But yesterday, Brendan stood up in the living room floor and took 4 steps to the couch where Daddy was sitting! We were so excited and of course Brendan also clapped for his achievement.
The rest of the evening he continued to make progress! He is actually a pretty fast learner. He only took about 3 to 4 steps in a row each time, but was able to master this small feat multiple times. He gained a bit more confidence each time. Although this morning, he had lost his confidence and wouldn't let go of my legs. He'll get it soon enough!
Sadly, we didn't catch it on film, in fact, Brendan never really cooperates when a camera is up and ready. But we will try to capture some footage on film tonight for you Grandparents who are dying to see him! Scott and I were exited that we both were there to witness these steps!
We are very proud of our little achiever! 11 months old! He will be running by his first birthday!
Speaking of 1st birthday...I better get planning that...

Uh oh! You're in trouble now! This is when the real work begins. Once he really gets the hang of it, he's going to be fast. Have fun keeping up with him!
Rachel, Brendan must be taking after you on this one. Scott didn't walk until he was 16 months. Now that I think about it, he must have been studying the political news of the day instead!
That's awesome! Can't wait to see the video!
I agree with Alisha, you are in trouble! My friend's little one started walking a couple of steps one day then out of no where he was running all over the place! Ha! I can't wait to see video!
