My son did. He was 9 months old, pretty much identical to what the baby in the video did. Iā€™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

This was me at 9 months. One morning my mom got up to check on me and I was just standing in the hall staring at her. She was so freaked out, like something straight out of the shining lol. Even stranger still was that my crib bars were up, so not only was I walking but I climbed up, over, and out of my crib. I was in a toddler bed before I turned 1 because my parents were deathly afraid that I was going to hurt myself seeing as the height of the crib bars were probably a good 4ft+ off the ground.
