Not-quite-baby steps

Posted by Claire on August 17, 2009 in Blog.

So I guess it’s pretty obvious from this video what major development has happened in our house over the last few days; and you can see from that little face that we’re not the only ones who are proud as punch!  It’s funny to see Bubs on two feet and somehow he looks smaller when he is walking.  Although for now it’s more of a party trick than a preferred mode of transport – if he wants to go somewhere he still crawls.  Today we got our prints from his official first birthday photos and it’s amazing how much he’s grown up in three short months. I know I keep bleating on about this but I’m incredibly sad at how quickly his babyhood is whizzing by, and yet every new stage of his growing up is more delightful than the last, so I am constantly caught in this limbo between wanting to stop time, and wanting to see what he’s going to learn next!

About Claire

Hello! I’m Claire and welcome to MumUnplugged! I started this blog in 2008 following the birth of my son; I was bored on maternity leave from my job as a magazine editor, and besides feeling a pathological urge to just write something, I wanted to put my own experiences as a first time mum out there for others to share. I’m just a normal mum like any other – I have good days and bad days, days when I feel confident in my ability to raise this little human I created and others when I wonder why on earth I ever thought I could handle it! The most important thing I’ve learned from becoming a mum is that there’s nothing like advice from other mums who’ve been in your shoes – and I hope that by reading my experiences and those of others, visitors to MumUnplugged will find inspiration, advice and support for their journey through motherhood. Through my career in publishing I’ve also developed a passion for trend-spotting and tracking down the latest products so you’ll also find lots of news, reviews, fashion, topical features and much more. I really hope you enjoy the site – don’t forget to check out our forums (coming soon!) and keep your eyes peeled for great competitions and giveaways. If there’s anything you’d like to see on MumUnplugged then I’d love to hear from you – email mumunplugged@googlemail.com, follow me on Twitter, check out the Facebook page - or just leave me a comment!

    We both did! He has been walking back and forth between us for a day or two but that was the first time one of us had hands free for filming lol. He did 19 steps tonight!
