My son will be 1 year old in a week and he's been walking really well for over a month now while holding on to stuff like our couch or entertainment center.
Within the last week he's stated lettting go of his "crutch" and stands without any help until gravity teeters him too far one way or the other.
Since then you can tell he "wants" to walk. His body language and movement tell me his mind knows what he wants to do, but his body isn't able to yet. My wife and I got really excited when he took 2 unaided steps and then fell to crawling on Friday.
The funny thing happened yesterday morning. My son isn't allowed to touch my game stuff and he's aware of this. His inability to play with my controllers or systems seems only to spur on his extreme desire to touch, slam and throw my prized collections.
Well yesterday when I pulled my DualShock away from his reach he let go of my entertainment center and walked over to me to get it!
My sons first big steps in his life were for something game related! It was hilarious to me and eye-rolling to my wife, but it was very entertaining none-the-less.
Just so you all know. I did let him celebrate by playing with my DualShock and then he threw it across the room.
Being a dad pwns.
Thumbs up.
ReplyDelete(wasn't he born last March?)
Yep, but developmentally he'll be 1 May 22nd. Doctors measure milestones (walking, crawling, feeding, etc) by developmental schedule.
ReplyDeleteBeing born 2 months early makes this process more annoying.
I approve of the way you are raising the next generation. Bravo. Bravo.
