So, Carl can totally walk. I saw him do it last week. He took five whole steps and then voluntarily sat down! He did it like it was no big deal but he hasn't improved since then.
I have tried bribing him. I used marshmallows to tempt him across the room but it only worked a few times before he decided the work was not worth the puny reward. This was surprising because I remember the marshmallows being a very convincing incentive for Soren.
Now he won't walk for anything. He won't even walk holding my fingers, which is something we used to do all the time. I'm sure he'll make the switch over eventually but it'll be interesting to see how, since he doesn't want to practice.
For now, he gets better and faster at crawling every day. And I have always found that to be an invaluable skill.
