The Walking Day

In the morning, we went to an old man's house out in the woods to give some gifts for he had helped me getting out a snow ditch the weekend before (that was an adventure for a different time). The man says kindness brings good Karma. I believe it. Andy was fascinated by his goats.


In the afternoon, the good karma for showing appreciation came around. Andy took off walking! It was an exciting moment for him. He had been taking a few steps in the previous weeks. Now he really took off. He walked wobbly across the entire living room area by himself, multiple times. He made excited shouting throughout the walks as if he discovered something new (see video below).



He also managed to stand up and resume walking on his own after he falls down.



It was also my dad's birthday. Grandpa said this was the best birthday gift.

17 month was an exciting time in Andy's development. He started walking regularly and learning fast like a sponge.
