Being a parent disabused me of the idea of "first words" or "first steps".
It's not like they suddenly figure out how to walk or talk. You start with something that doesn't resemble words or steps much at all, and gradually improves until they're properly walking and talking.
Some kids really do walk like this with their first steps. Child developmental milestones vary so much between individuals. Some babies can only take two steps the first time, and some will get up and walk across the room. (I work with tons of kids this age and study infant development)

Yeah, that's not a first walk. That's like an alien's idea of a human first walk.
