Not knowing how much progress had really been made during the week, Campbell and I just worked on whatever he was willing to do. At one point he felt confident enough to walk from the ottoman to me a little ways away. He was able to do it quite a few times. It’s only a matter of time before he really takes off. Here is some video I was able to shoot.

Last week he started to have moments where he would get distracted after he had pulled himself up on something, and the next thing you know he’s standing without holding on without realizing it. One case was in Mom’s office where he went to grab some address labels off of her desk. Well, once he had them in hand he put both hands on the paper, and Wala! He was standing. But, the funnier moment is when he comes to the realization that he is NOT holding on and standing. Then he gets scared and plops down to his butt.

On Sunday he decided that it was time to start pushing around his lion walker and using it for what it was meant to do. He has tried this stunt with his high chair, and Lisa says that he made a couple laps around the kitchen island. Well, now we have it on tape. He is definitely on his way to walking soon. The only problem is heeding other walkers on this busily trafficked area he is practicing on. Watch out!
