First steps today!!!!!!!!!

Comment Published at 21:3321:3320 comments20 comments62 Visits62 VisitsReport

Hi all. Well this is the first time I've ever blogged,and it is for a very good reason. Lachlan my youngest, took his first unassisted steps today!!! He will be 1 on the 21st of June.As he was born at 29 weeks he is only 9 months corrected. My daughter who is now 3 was walking by 8 months, so it seems that Lach is on track. I was told he would develop a little slower seems not in the walking department anyway. I turned around while washing dishes to find him taking 4 steps and now won't stop stepping away from furniture! I will really know I'm alive now hey!

thanks for sharing this exciting milestone with me bye for now xx

Wow congratulations to Lachy & you!  WHOOPPEEE... Now you better stock up on the carbs and sustagen, because you will be running around like nobody's business now.  You will be using all those old side stepping and tackling skills, as they both run off in opposite directions.  Life as you knew it is now officially over - in with the new

Wow, how exciting!!! And so good since they said he would probably take longer. Our son was two weeks late and he didn't walk until he was nearly 18 months old!!

I think that you are a bit lucky there to have abit more time to relax,no cracked heads on tiles, no climbing up on things (lounge now he can reach and falling off )just means I have to be even more vigilant I guess lol but am happy for my little boy he is so happy to be able to do it.

Re: First steps today!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, I suppose both have their pros and cons. Our little man hated it when we would go to the park for Mums group and all the other bubs would be running around and he would just sit there and watch them.

Re: First steps today!!!!!!!!!

all we have done is put gates in so that he knows where is and isn't able to go eg kitchen & bathroom,

but our house is so small the bathroom and other bedrooms are all down the one hallway so all we needed to do was block off that hallway and the kitchen was easy as there is only one way in and out so that got blocked to, so hopefully he won't work out how to get through them.

and i wouldn't blame you for that, he'll walk when he's ready just trying to explain that to the MIL at the moment cause all she wants is him to be walking and talking.

it will happen when he is good and ready thats all i say now to anyone that questions it

That's just what you should say to anyone questioning it. Doesn't it give you the pip when people won't let them grow at their own pace. They will do it all when they are good and ready.

Thanks for the invite to your group have posted a bit on there already.
