Max took his real, live FIRST steps!!! Unassisted!! No hand holding or walker pushing. Every day he gets better and better, too. Right now he will walk out of Tyler's hands all the way to the couch (a good 6-8 baby steps) as long as there is something on the couch that he really wants (like his blankey or a ball or sometimes his mom). He's been crawling and pulling up on just about everything for a while now and you can tell he just wants to walk so badly. It's adorable of course!
He's only 8 months old (almost 8 1/2 months) and I was walking at 9 months so it's not inconceivable that he could be walking for real by the end of the month. We'll just have to wait and see. He has yet to venture out on his own (turning and walking to something). Although, when he does see something on the ground and he is in a standing position he kind of turns and puts both hands out in front of him and falls on the floor. So I guess he's moving in the right direction... sort of.
Now there are many people who have said to us, "Enjoy this age when they aren't walking", "Ugh, when they start walking it gets horribly hard", "Babies should never learn to walk because it ruins their parents' lives" (okay, so no one has said that , but they might as well have). Yet, this is what I say -- "please, PLEASE walk for goodness sakes, and do it soon, because my back is breaking from holding you up so you can pretend walk around them room; mommy is tired and achy and it won't be so bad when you can walk over and get your own diapers."
That being said... ENJOY THE VIDEO!!!
P.S. No babies were hurt in the filming of this video.
