I thought it was staged, but those steps the kid took definitely look like first tries

I don’t think so. My kids usually did like two steps then fell down the first time. When the baby kept going I thought it looked staged.

That's just your kids. Mine got up one day and just walked across the length of the room. Admittedly there was no conveniently placed camera there but we were talking to his grandad on video call who tells everyone that he was the one who got to saw his grandkid take his first steps.

All kids are different

Mine did too. Mine was a very late walker and it felt like he was waiting until he knew he could do it. I would often catch him letting go of the couch and practicing his balance. When he started walking on his own there was no bumbling or falling; it looked like he had been walking for months.

My daughter was like your son. She held on to furniture or walls then one day just stopped and walked around like she had always known how to do it. My son would stand up and take a step, fall down then crawl a bit before trying again and just gradually got better at it.

Both of mine did this too. They weren't late walkers but no amount of encouragement would get them to talk a single step in the weeks and days leading up to it so I always assume they would be late as I watch other babies take a few steps and stumble repeatedly for weeks while learning to walk.

Mine just got up and walked like they secretly knew how to do it all along.
