first steps
yesterday Jackson took his first steps. he got up to five or six steps before grabbing onto someone. it is so cool to watch this happen. he is now 15 1/2 months old.my kids both have been what would be considered late bloomers when it comes to walking. to me, this is a good thing. as soon as they start walking, they really get into everything. most kids start walking around 12 months i would generalize.
we aren't the type of parents that lock down everything in the house. we don't put the slippery covers on the doorknobs, the latches on the cupboards, or the latch on the toilet seat. we don't put protective covers on sharp corners or make the kids wear helmets and leashes. if he falls, he falls. it's part of learning. i just don't get parents that do all of the extreme safety stuff... start teaching your kids responsibilities the first chance you get. it's my hope that my kids will be better participants in our society armed with a knowledge of good common sense.
i'll try to get some video of his walking tomorrow.
