first steps?

my friend autie posed a great question on her blog the other day:

how do you determine what day they start walking?

for the past week we've been debating how to make the official call on when christian took (or takes) his first steps. i think we might call it for today, feb. 16. since i was the only one home at the time i may have to wait and have shane or kayla confirm my decision when christian gets up tomorrow. but still, exciting stuff! he's so close either way. he still laughs as he goes so he's obviously not taking it as seriously as we all are. ;)
