Walking (mostly running)

I had a complete meltdown around Easter time when my little man began walking - he seems far too young to be doing so. I cant believe the tiny baby stage has already passed by. Riley has been taking steps for ages, pulling himself up on furniture and cruising around for about the past 3 months. But the transition from taking a few steps holding onto something to full blown independent walking happened rather fast. When we were away on holidays at the end of March he began letting go and walking between things like from the coffee table at nan's place to the lounge - and was most pleased with the applause he received. Full of determination he began taking more and more steps, and on the morning he started daycare, at exactly 11 months old he took 8 steps on his own. By the end of the day he was taking up to 15 steps and then two days later, pretty much walking around everywhere. He's been a bit unsteady and has taken many falls, but its so cute to watch him walking around - and rather weird to be in one room and have him just appear at the door and walk on in. Here's a video of him walking around shaking his maraccas (which were a gift from Aunty Caitlin) he loves them!
