Sammy can walk after all! I'm not even sure when Sammy officially took his "first steps" because he didn't follow through with them until now (I think it was around 12 months). He's just such an efficient little crawler that anything more than one step from his comfort zone and he would just end up on the floor to zoom to where he wanted to go.
But last night, when I wasn't paying attention, lo and behold, he walks across half the living room. So as soon as Daddy came home from class, and Sammy was in his night-time-crazies mode (see video below), we tried to encourage him walking, and he did it! I've got to wonder how much better he would have done last night if we wasn't so giggly, but you'll see in the second video, which was taken a mere 12 hours after he starting this walking showcase, how much sturdier he is.
Last night. Approximately 9pm. 14 months, 2.5 weeks old.
This morning. Approximately 9am.
I knew that once he finally started walking, he would be an expert. It was this way with crawling too. And as I write this, I realize that Sammy has actually been crawling longer than he was immobile--from 7 months to over 14 months. Oh, Sammy. You goofball. 1 Comment;
Way to go Sammy!
