Walking Liam

In ten measly days, Liam will be a year old. I'll have his one year post that week. This one is just about his walking progress.

Saturday, April 14th, Liam took his first step. Just one. And then no more for a whole week.

Saturday, April 21st, while at a birthday party, Liam took another step. Just one. But he took one step two different times while there (hope that makes sense). Later that evening, he tripled that and took three in a row. Big deal!

Everyday since then (almost two weeks ago), he walks a lot everyday, but not constantly. He still crawls a lot. But if he has pulled himself up to standing or stood up on his own and wants to go somewhere, he walks there. He's still working out the balance, but he's definitely improving all the time.

The most steps in a row he's taken is probably about ten.

We still don't have this place completely set up (but it has to be done by his party, so I've got some motivation there!), so it's safer for him to be in his playard. Otherwise there would be a lot of us keeping Liam from messing with something he shouldn't and him screaming about it, so yes, right now it's easier on all of us for him to be in the playard if he's playing. We spend a ton of time in there with him.

Anyway, we're super proud of Liam for walking before his first birthday! Now I just need to get him some shoes!

This is a video of him walking last night. Sideways for some reason.
