Jace Took His First Unassisted Steps Today!

Joe stood Jace up and said, "Go get Momma!" and he took a few steps toward me unassisted! Then I got big tears in my eyes and Joe and I looked at each other in amazement. So for the next 15 mins or so, we practiced back and forth before Joe said, "Where's the camera? This is kinda momentous!" I was so excited I didn't even think about getting the camera! So as soon as the camera was out, Jace decided he didn't want to take any more steps.... KIDS.... Then he started again. I was able to catch a few times on film. Here's the best clip of them all, though. He's just growing up so quickly! This month...well, July... He's learned to clap when you start singing "Patty Cake Patty Cake" and he shakes his head no and yes (He doesn't distinguish between them very well, though. He knows what NO means, though.) Also, he is learning to "Blow out the candles" (For his birthday next month), drink from a sippy cup, and he loves to play in his bedroom with his toys. Every day he just learns more and more and is so quick!
