Update on Walking

So Drew has been taking steps for months now as I mentioned before on here. Almost right after that last post, his balance got even better he would take anywhere from 5-15 steps. But that's it.

Until a few days ago.

Almost to the day he turned 15 months, the kid just began walking all over out of nowhere. I'm sure some parents see their kid take a couple steps and proclaim that the child is "walking". I think that's really pushing the meaning of the word and told Derek that I wasn't considering Drew a true walker until he stood from the ground and chose to walk on his own. No prompting, no pulling himself up, no crazy cheering squad. He had to do it himself and prefer that over crawling.

And the kid has. And he's been doing it now a few days and doing GREAT! Sure he loses his balance a lot, but he LOVES walking and barely lets us hold his hand anymore. I think it's adorable watching him stand up and realize that he doesn't need to hold onto anything. I love the look on his face when he realizes he is doing it all by himself and it's much more fun than crawling!

WATCH OUT WORLD!
