First Steps!

Okay, so I'm waaay behind on this blog.  We've been back from holidays/vacation for a few weeks now and honestly I've been trying nearly every day for those weeks to organise all my vacation photos and do a post.  But I get nowhere because a lot of my time is taken up by one very needy little man who just wants to WALK and wants my constant help doing it.  Yesterday we had a bit of a big day in that area as he took his first solo steps!  Granted the steps numbered approximately two and ended in a spectacular faceplant, complete with banana flying out of hand.  However they were solo steps nonetheless.  The reason they ended in such a faceplant is mostly that he decided to try and run instead of walk.  And the funniest part is we were at a pub (The Windsor in South Perth), so Augie can tell all of his friends someday that his first steps were taken in a pub.  Cool or Bogan?  You decide.

Just to clarify for the Americans reading this blog...having a baby in a pub is a very normal thing in Aus.  Very much like taking a baby into a restaurant.  Yesterday was the collective 1st Birthday Party at the Perth Zoo for one of my mother's groups.  After the b-day party we went to the Windsor with a couple of our good friends Jess and Dave and their young son Jasper.  Much the same as the previous Sunday after a bike ride in South Perth, we commandeered a corner lounge, put a blanket on the floor for the babies and ordered some nibbles and a beer.  Except yesterday Augie decided it was time to set off on his own.  The best part is, both Mick and I saw it.  We had a very special second or two before the screaming started ;)
