My Big Boy.

I've been trying to capture words to describe my feelings today, and none seem to be sufficient.
So, I won't write many.

This is my baby boy, who is doing his best to catch up with the world.

I watched him take his first steps without human hands supporting him today.

We were at Shriners, at a therapy session I nearly cancelled due to my crazy schedule and lack of ability to ask for help often enough.

He concentrated hard with his little tongue out, and laughed.

I sat back, watched and knew this feeling I was feeling right then was as close to heaven as I could ever get.
My boy is ready world.
Watch out.

It is so amazing when any child takes their first step I can't imagine how incredible it was to see Deak. He has more determination than anyone I know, besides you Jen! When Deak conquers the world he'll have you (and Blair) to thank for never giving up.
