Our big boy is finally walking! At 13 1/2 months Ryder took his first REAL steps. When he was about 9 or 10 months old I thought he might be an early walker. He would take one or two small steps from me to Steve but then he got nervous and for the longest time he was not interested in even trying to walk. But then Ali showed up with her mint M&M's and our boy finally had the motivation he needed! We spent about an hour luring him all over the house with M&M's. It was a fun night to celebrate that big milestone!
Here's a video to show our boy's new skills!
Day by day he is getting better and more steady on his feet. Here are some more action shots from day 2 of walking.
Ryder is so much more content now that he is up on his feet. He can get around on his own, chase his sisters, escape puppy attacks, and run to mommy whenever he wants. He's also finding his way into trouble quicker than ever. His walking has quickly transitioned to climbing and now explores the bunk bed ladder and other tricky heights. Mommy and daddy better get ready for trouble!
