John Learns How to Walk!!!!

John has always been just a little behind with development. Nothing to really worry about because he is continually progressing. So it was no surprise that it took him until 16 months to walk independently. He took a few steps between Grandma Vidmar and Emma on Christmas Eve but other than that hadn't seemed too interested. He was really great at couch surfing and pushing things around but would't steps by himself.
Once we got back from our Christmas Vacation, John and I started to really work on it. I would prop him up on the couch and then sit a few feet away and he would take one or two steps. We would do this everyday, until............Thursday, January 18th! We were doing out usual practice. However, this time I kept scooting back to encourage him to go a little farther.
Finally something clicked and he walked right past me! He was so proud of himself! It was the cutest!
He now walks all over the place. But still falls down a ton. The poor guy. Hopefully his balance improves soon. :)
