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.

My son did. He was 9 months old, pretty much identical to what the baby in the video did. I’m glad I caught it on video and that my husband was home to see it. My son was giggling, he was so proud of himself, it was the cutest thing.

Same. I had the camera set up on the floor because she and our new kitty were playing so well together, destroying/spreading the recycling all over the kitchen. I thought it was a cute moment and wanted to share it with my husband later. To my surprise, she stood up just like the baby in the video and took quite a few steps. She even took a turn while walking, which shocked me even more. She eventually realized what she was doing and stopped out of shock/fear herself. It’s weird how people doubt the most simple things.
