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.

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

My kid NEVER crawled. So frustrating. She would stand up against the wall and shimmy around the room, just holding on to objects to keep herself up. We called it baby parkour lol.

Yeah, my daughter only scooched around on her butt all the time, until she one day (pretty late) suddenly stood up like the kid in the video, without holding anything, and walked around.
