If these really are his first steps, he’s walking surprisingly confidently

Babies don’t stand up like that for their first steps. Babies taking their first steps still have to pull themselves up using an aide of some sort.

Yeah, I find it hard to believe that these are actually the baby's first steps. The separate motor skills required for them to walk independently take time and practice to develop. It doesn't just happen one morning. As a parent you would see them getting incrementally better at standing up, balancing, taking steps while holding onto something, etc., eventually putting it all together into walking independently.

The first moment that they walk without holding onto anything is still amazing, but they would've already been walking while holding onto something or someone.
