First steps today!!

Niklas took his first steps on his own today. He tried on his own several times. Mostly 2-3 steps but he also had a great long walk of four steps. Unfortunately not caught on tape, but as soon as we have managed to film him we will put it here on the blog.

One thing is certain:

He will never walk alone!
