'walking'

maddux is now taking deliberate steps while holding on to my hands.  he is pulling up on everything right now.  he pulled up to standing on the dishwasher just now and was using it for balance and not support (a lighter touch instead of full body weight).  to help him down i took his hands while i closed the door and he started taking steps back to the living room while i helped him stay upright!  i need to check, but i think that this is earlier than the other two.  he is a man on a mission when it comes to getting around!

another first today was reaching the handle on the bottom cabinets and opening the door!  yikes!  i better figure out how to secure some of these doors or rearrange things (probably the former).  love.
