Joseph began taking steps when he was about 9.5 months old. But Scott wouldn't let me call it walking until last Wednesday, when Joseph really took off.
Here are our attempts at a video of it. In the second half of the video Ian stubs his toe and you can hear Scott do some silly tricks to get Ian to feel better....because no video or picture will ever be just about Joseph. It's pretty cute to see Joseph marching along through all of it though.
Even just a few days later Joseph is much more steady and confident. He still uses objects to stand up and if he falls he will often crawl to his destination because crawling is still quicker for him. But now he can walk across entire rooms and make turns too.
It is fun to see the way this new skill is changing how the boys play with each other. Ian seems to respect Joseph a bit more and he likes how Joseph follows him around on foot. Ian also likes to count Joseph' steps as he goes.
