So this post is a little late but back in May I was hanging out with Oliver and I noticed how much he kept trying to straighten his legs while I was holding him. So just for fun I had him lean against the bottom of our bed and he was holding himself up. I was so surprised that I kept leaning him against the bed and if he started to lose his balance I would adjust him again. Then at one point as I was balancing him while he stood he started to put forward both legs one at a time as if he already knew how to walk. Annie and I want him to progress like any other kid but we know that if he starts walking he is going to be a much bigger handful for us so in one sense I was excited to see him put those feet forward and in another sense I was thinking uh oh. Anyways, in the midst of balancing him and smiling and laughing with him I managed to grab a few pictures of the whole progression which you can see above. I love that little guy!
