This weekend Ben started his journey to another baby milestone. He began standing on his own while playing with toys for a few seconds at a time, and he managed to take a few steps!
Ben's parents (after seeing he could stand) decided that why not try to see if he would walk to either one of us? So we tried, by having one parent sit on the couch while another one of us sat on the floor, stand Ben up (brace him) and he would take a few steps to one of his parents! We did try to sit further and further apart, but this attempt was unsuccessful as Ben would take a few steps, reach out his hands and topple over. Each time Ben took those few precious steps to one of his parents, he would giggle like crazy. Perhaps its all the clapping his parents would do every time he did it, or maybe he was just proud of his little self, but it was very very cute!
Ben also discovered a new way to use one of his walking toys, by actually using it to walk. Typically this toy was used to just play with all the little knobs, rollers and shapes, but not anymore! Ben would walk by using his little toy across the room, run into a piece of furniture, we would turn him around around and then we would repeat this process over and over again. Ben had a ball doing this. He was so proud of himself and had the biggest baby grin the entire time.
Ben (in my opinion) isn't deemed a walker yet, but he certainly is on his way! I am so proud of you my little man!
