Well, a huge milestone was reached last night. Teo suddenly decided to be brave and dispense with using the ottoman as a support and launched himself out into the open and took about 9 or 10 steps from the ottoman to his books that were on the floor. Well, that pretty much floored all of us! Immediately after, we took a few videos of him walking between Candice and Tanner, and it looks like Teo thinks it's just a game, judging by the huge smile on his face and his willingness to keep playing.
He had been sort of walking between the sofa and the ottoman, repeatedly back and forth, taking maybe two or three steps to get from one to the other. That was his game for a few nights. Then suddenly last night, as mentioned, he just stepped away from those crutches and forged ahead into the balance unknown.
Of course, we believe that his toy walker had much to do by way of helping him feel that balance more often and feel more independent and confident being upright. So here we go. Look out world!
