Silas is a cautious kid, and he's been content with knee walking for quite sometime now.
He's also really tall so he has a long way to fall...
Silas didn't crawl until he was 9-1/2 months, and he waited to start pulling himself up to a stand until one day before his first birthday. We figured he would take his time with walking too. I am so happy to report that Silas took his first unassisted steps two weeks ago! It was perfect timing, in that he decided to do it during his weekly physical therapy appointment on December 8th. We have been getting early intervention services for almost a year now, and Rochelle is the awesome PT who has been working with Silas on the tightness in his lower extremities and on his gross motor skills. Here is the video Derek shot of him in PT today.
He didn't consistently start standing up and walking with a push toy until AFTER he took his first steps. He is definitely doing this on his own schedule :)
And as most of you know, Zoe started walking at the beginning of November. I realized today that I posted this video on Facebook, but it never made it onto the blog...
After a month of exhibiting caution, she now toodles around the house quite comfortably, as if she's been doing it her entire life.
I definitely see kid leashes in our not-so-distant future :)
