The first weekend this month, we were very surprised to see our son take his some of his first independent steps!! Our daycare lady and Zach's physical therapist had seen 1 or 2 steps the week before, but we saw several that weekend - which was a first for us all! We have worked so hard with him and he has been practicing cruising the furniture for a very long time, this is a huge accomplishment. :)
We now have a little walker at home that allows for proper posture and feet placement as he gets more confident with his new skill. The hope is that with the speed he can go with the walker, he will soon prefer to walk instead of crawl, which is still currently his main mode of transportation.
We are so proud of him and can't wait to see how quickly he won't even need the walker any more. He will be starting pre-school next month, on his 3rd birthday, and we're prayerful that he'll be a very confident and capable independent walker by then. If not though, they are very supportive of him having his walker in class, so he can continue to strengthen his muscles for this next big step in development.
Until next time, here are a few videos of those first several steps at home - enjoy! :)
