Monkey's almost starting to walk now. He has been kind of lunging forward from one item of furniture / wall / walker / whatever - to the next thing around him for a little while. But yesterday he actually moved his feet a bit forward to get from where Justin put him standing on the ground to his little car walker in front of him.
Justin tries more than me to get him to walk. Most of the time if we try planting Isaac down on the ground without any support, he doesn't put his feet down solid, he just dangles them until we sit him on the ground instead. But occasionally we trick him into standing all by himself!
The funny thing about these milestones is how gradually they appear. I always thought it would be like, "Oh, today Isaac can sit up." But you know, they kind of come in small increments. He's sitting up with some pillows, he's sitting up all propped forward, he's sitting up holding onto something and then it kind of works its way into, hey, he's sitting up on his own. When the heck did that happen?!
So standing on his own / walking / whatever this is seems to be taking the same meandering, small stepped journey. But I think we both agreed that yesterday's little one step two step shuffle forward could possibly count as a first step. Hurrah Isaac!
