Woot

So maybe I'm a little too old to be saying 'Woot'. My nieces are always posting it on their Facebook page. They're young. They can get away with it. But today, I'm saying 'Woot'!

Baby Jaws (my just turned 14 month old last week) who has been scooting (never once crawling) on his butt (he's really fast) for the past few months, finally took his first step today. Woot!

This is a photo of him in mid-scoot as he puts his right hand down, lifts his leg and plops his butt back down as fast as he can go. The funny thing is Big Brother used to get around the exact same way.

I'm so glad Baby Jaws has finally realized he can move his feet without holding onto anything. I will miss the little scoot when he finally gives it up for good. I won't miss the dirty right leg that I have to clean every time we go visit someone with dirty carpet. I won't miss the little scratches he gets on his right leg from scooting in the driveway (nothing stops him). I won't miss the dirt he scoops up in his diaper while scooting around the yard. But I will miss that little scoot.

But my baby took his first step today! Woot!
