walking - almost

In the end of June Adam finally started crawling on all fours. He had been doing the army crawl for a while, and he has been getting up for a long time as well. So now the next milestone is walking.
He has this walker from IKEA and he has been dragging it through the house, sometimes he even turned it upside down and dragged it along his small trips up and down the hall.
He has been trying to stand up holding the bar, but it only worked when the walker stood up against a wall or some furniture. A couple of weeks ago I thought of putting some weight in the walker to give it some resistance. So Adam's walker is now loaded with 4 pounds of rice. It worked! Adam has been walking ever since. Do you want to see some proof? I know you do.

In the beginning he almost looked like he was falling forward, but he remained walking and only stopped when he hit an obstacle. But in a couple of days he learned how to control the speed, and can now stop whenever he wants to. Now he just has to learn how to steer.
