A Walk on the Wild Side

CORGAN CAN WALK! I've heard of babies just skipping crawling and going straight to walking, but at 7 months!?!? My mom said I did the thing where I "crawled" on my hands and feet (not knees), then never did a regular crawl, just went straight to walking, but I'm sure I was much older then 7 months old!

Since Corgan's sitting is still a little wobbly, when we sit him down on the floor, we usually sit him far away from any furniture or walls or anything. Now that he's army crawling, he's able to get over to things on his own. We've always known that Corgan has super upper-body strength, so as a joke we've stood him up next to things and let him stand there holding himself up, but I never in a million years imagined that he'd be able to pull himself up!

This morning after taking Annabelle to school, I came home, fed Corgan, then put him down on the floor to play. I came to the computer to check out what had gone on overnight while still keeping an eye on Corgan and after about a minute, I turned around and he was standing up holding on to the couch! I squealed "CORGAN!" which I assume scared the crap out of him because he let go and took a couple of steps that seemed more like they were to avoid falling over than actual walking! But still... Holy crap! I'm going to try to get it on video as soon as possible!

Is this an April Fools joke? :)

Seriously, that's crazy if he starts walking now!

Blake never crawled. He began walking at 7 months. It looks so funny because they are so tiny. I can't wait to see the video.

Ok...I'm thinking it's an April Fools joke too! But if it's not...that's pretty amazing :) Shelby was 9 months and I thought that was nuts!

Naw- I think Corgan is strong enough to start walking. Thanks to Kelson's jumperoo I think she'll be walking VERY SOON. She is already starting to stand very well. Our kids are sooo smart :) and strong!

If this is true, WOW! I am impressed. Erin is not even close.
