Advice History
Walking
Do you have any advice for when all the other parents start talking about their baby's walking?
Walking is one of those things parents love to compare. As your child reaches walking age, other moms and dads on the playground will begin to ask, "Is she walking yet?" and then follow-up with, "My precious walked right out of the uterus!" Good for them. Don't let anyone around you let their comments bother you or concern you when it comes to when your child begins to walk, everyone does it on their own time table. Let your excitement come from the moment you see them stand, let go of the thing they are holding onto and finally take that first step. It's more amazing than you can imagine and one of the many joys of the year ahead.
When you think they're about to start, always have a camera ready. They don't announce when they're ready to try those first steps - they just do it. And once they start, they never stop. Soon they'll be running, and before you know it, moving away to college. Treasure all the wobbly leg time they give you, and try not to feel bad when they start becoming more independent. It's all part of growing up (for them and you).
Should baby's wear shoes as they start on their walking adventures?
