Up until now, Liah was my latest walker. She was just about 14 months. So I kind of set that as my deadline for Addy. "Oh, well, Liah was 14 months when she started walking, so I'm not worried. I'll let him be a baby as long as he wants." Okay, so then he was 14 months. And not walking. Not even a little bit. Oh, he could scale walls and furniture like you wouldn't believe, but no walking. No standing on his own. Nothing. It was kind of cute though, because I would try to stand him up, but he is so snuggly, all he wanted to do was give me a hug, so he wouldn't even try to stand up.
Well, when he was about a week away from turning 15 months, I decided it was time to actually "teach" him how to walk. Here is what the kids and I came up with. It's kind of funny, because when they laugh at him, he won't walk, but when they cheer for him, he is so excited. He thrives off of the praise of his brother and sisters. Which worries me a little. Not gonna lie.
Well that was a month ago (October 15). Even last week, he was only doing barely more than that. He turns 16 months old in 4 days. Just look at him go now!
Yay! He officially walks!

(p.s. This has nothing to do with this post, but I just read this on my sister-in-law's blog and I thought it was hilarious! Anyone with little kids, or anyone for that matter will get a kick out of this. Click here.)
(Oh, yeah, Facebook friends, if you want to watch the videos, you'll have to actually visit my blog. For some reason, the videos don't show up on facebook. Here is the link: http://amymommyof4.blogspot.com)
(*Fun facts in the second video: Notice the cheese grin at the beginning when he thinks I'm taking a picture of him. And who needs a dog when you can play fetch with a baby?? No offense to dog lovers...)
