She put him down and she walked towards the living room. When she turned around, she dropped to her knees and broke down into tears. "Baby! You're walking!!!" With each step he giggled and pointed. With each step he reached closer and closer to his mother. With her arms outstretched she picked him up and kissed him. "Thank you God!"
