Sean has been so close to walking for a while now. He cruises easily with just a little hand on the couch and practically runs when using his walker. He has been taking one step for a little bit - letting go of the couch, taking one step then grabbing onto something else so we don't really count this as walking. For the past week or so he has been standing up on his own without holding onto anything and you can tell he is thinking about making a move but he would either try and walk and fall down or he would just plain sit down without trying. Tonight, after running around like a little wild man with his walker, Brett and I put him in between us and encouraged him to walk. He stood there for a bit looking at both of us then walked 6-7 steps on his own, though not actually to either of us! Of course Brett and I started hooting and hollering but neither had a camera running (which we are very happy about as we really got to take the moment in). After several tries with the camera we caught this on tape. The video starts after he has taken about 6 steps on his own (from where Brett is standing) but I could not get the camera turned on fast enough. He seems very proud of himself, hence the noise he is making.
We could not be more thrilled, although we know once he gets the hang of it everything will change! Can't believe how fast our little man is growing up!
