Rylen Runs!!!

September 29, 2011 was a super busy day for me. I was trying to do housework, laundry, get in some schoolwork and keep up with my 1 year old son, Rylen.  Keeping up with Rylen is not an easy thing to do. He is a very quick crawler and can walk with the furniture and is into everything. We also had to be at the doctors office at 2:20 for his 1 year check up and shots.  We went to the doctors office and my mother-in-law, Shirley, met us there to help because Rylen is a very strong and wild child. I definitely needed help to hold him down for the five shots he got. He cried, of course, during the shots, but only for a minute or so after it was done. We left and Shirley took Rylen with her because I had to meet someone back at home to take care of something for the house. Shirley calls me about 5:05 that day to tell me that my baby, Rylen walked all by himself for the first time. Well, I immediately started crying because I wasn't there and walking is such an accomplishment for us both. So I waited on my fiance to get home and we rushed over to Shirley's house. As soon as he saw me he started walking, rather running, towards me and I recorded it on my phone and started screaming and crying. I couldn't control myself, I was and am such a proud mama and so very excited for him. He was all smiles and I could see how proud he was of himself.
