Define "walking"

I think it is a little premature to say that Landon is walking, however, he took multiple steps 3 different times this evening!!! He has been taking 2-3 steps here and there and then he gets nervous and drops down. Tonight was no-fear night....

First, we were playing in the living room and I push back the ottoman's on the other side of the rug so he has room to play and then I'll sit with my back against the couch and play with him. He was standing with me by the couch and then he walked over to the ottoman! Definitely more than 5 steps, but maybe less than 10.

Second, he took a bath tonight, and I dried him off, brushed his hair and he's walking around the bathroom holding onto everything. Then all of the sudden he walks from me (I'm probably sitting by the toilet) and walks over to my vanity. Again, more than 5 steps, but maybe less than 10.

Last (and this was the best time), we went out in my bedroom and he was playing on his Leap Frog Learning table having a good time. All of the sudden he walks away from the table towards the chair in the corner of our room. This time he definitely took about 10 steps. I couldn't believe it!

He's wobbly, but really testing out his balance, and doing so well! So proud! Better go move that wine rack out of the living room...

I'd define that as walking. Go Landon!
