Walking efforts

Whilst I think of it, I thought I’d mention the state of play with his walking, as people keep asking about it now he’s a year old.

He can stand up and sit down by himself, but this is only when he’s holding something, to keep him stable. Same, too, if we hold his hands, even if he’s got just one of our fingers, he uses that to keep himself stable whilst happily walking across the room.

But he seems to be aware that he’s not holding something, if we try and make him walk without. Then, he’ll stumble a few steps, and then falls forwards, which I think is because his nose is too big and heavy, and pulls his head towards the ground.

Either way, as I say, he’ll do maybe three steps in succession, but either fall (and we catch him) or he gets worried and his knees collapse under him.

Good fun trying though. He doesn’t mind at all, but he’ll certainly let us know when he’s had enough of that!
