Accidentally filming herself vacuuming in the area where her son takes their first steps

Also: I have dreams like this, where standing up is hard and walking is painful

She probably knew it was coming soon and set up video that day to capture it. Source: am a mom, did the same thing and have a treasured video!

Same. I recorded my baby non stop for like a week when I felt like her first steps were coming lol, then she decided to take them when I wasn't even filming for that purpose. I still got it on camera rhough!

I filmed my son’s first unaided steps. He had spent a few days walking holding onto walls. I knew with a bit of encouragement he would walk across the room to me, so I filmed him whilst asking him to come to me.

Yeah I'm usually pretty cynical about staged videos, but to me it seems perfectly plausible to expect the first steps soon so you start recording every waking moment with your baby.

No it's staged for sure, i don't trust that baby at all

Can confirm. That baby is a paid actor, and a dick. Source: I’m filming

Seriously he needs more acting classes. Hardly believable.

I got my daughter’s first steps because of this.

u/CanaryJane42 1d ago

Yeah. So it's not really "accidental" though

u/ForwardToNowhere 1d ago

Well then that's a fault of the random bot title, not the video itself

This camera is also pointing directly at what looks like the front door. Strong showing from the r/nothingeverhappens crowd today

u/n3k0rin 1d ago

that’s a very good point actually, it could be a security camera. a lot of parents with small children have them just in case

u/AshMendoza1 1d ago

I’m now pretty sure that’s what this is. My mom has cameras set up like that so she can check whether a door or gate is locked without needing to go check in person

Her reaction looks like the baby stood up for the first time as well. So you’re telling me the baby stood up for the first time and also walked for the first time?

🤷‍♀️

Babies develop at different rates

u/Day85Day 1d ago

I have 4 kids and they’ve all been different, but none of them have stood up and walked in the same instance. I’ve actually never seen a baby stand for the first time and walk in the same moment. It’s just not believable.

I also have my son’s first steps on video. However, the standing up from the floor is fishy to me.

u/Ergaar 1d ago

No way a kid stands up like this on their own without holding something and takes their first Steps though. It was able to take Steps on their own for a while before doing that, just not standing up themselves. Now what you count as first Steps might differ from person to person but imo this part is the least surprising or exciting one.

I have my daughters first steps on video because she seemed to be practicing for a while.

u/Practical_magik 19h ago

I have a video of my daughters first steps, we new she was close, so set up a camera and then encouraged her to walk between us.

Sure enough, she did.

u/WastePotential 15h ago

What were the signs? I'd like to do the same!

u/King-Hekaton 12h ago

If that's the case, then it wasn't accidentally at all.

u/Routine-Status-5538 7h ago

Congratulations on coming to this very logical conclusion.

So. The complete opposite of an accident.
