Collin is walking!!

For about 3 months Collin has been cruisin the furniture. And for a couple of weeks he has been taking 3-4 steps on his own. I thought for sure he would have started walking on his own before his 1st birthday. It took until about a week & a half after turning 1 & he is now officially walking!!

This Wednesday Collin officially started walking! During the day, while hanging out w/ Grampy & Aunt Kari, he took 8 steps. Then once we got home that night he took a few more & a few more & a few more until he walked from the middle of the living room into the dining room {over 25 steps}. He is now just walking around like it's no big deal as if he's been doing it forever!! It's so amazing that once they figure out how to do something they just master it so quickly!

Below is a video. I ended up having to do it through Smile box because I wasnt able to rotate it on any other uploader.

That's great to hear. Put on your running shoes, you will be doing a lot more chasing.

Yay Collin!! What a cutie! I love it when they first start walking! I have been amazed at how quickly Simon has mastered walking since he took his first steps too! I can just imagine the fun in your home now!

Go Collin! I love kids when they start to walk-they have the Frankenstein walk going on. It's truly adorable! I remember when Preston took his first steps-after the first fivev he was like-I'm fine with this and away he went. Look out Ethan!!!
