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.

Reddit has no idea how babies work. Some skip crawling completely and walk straight across the house the first time they decide they want to. Others pull themselves up by a chair and fall on their ass 20 times before they even figure out how to pick up their foot

That was me with riding a bike. When I was a kid, neighbor Dad was trying to get his son, who was the same age as me, to ride a bike with no training wheels for an hour, he kept falling and couldn't do it. They took a break, left the bike on the road, I walked up to it, asked if I could try and started riding it with zero problems. I was doing laps on the road going up and down the street.
