Sven has been experimenting a lot with walking this month. Yesterday, he took 2 consecutive steps and I realized that it was time I recorded this milestone.
He has been taking one step to get to things for a while now. Recently, he has learned to walk while I hold onto one hand (although he doesn't like to do it for long distances). And he loves to use the walker his Grandma bought for his first birthday.
My friend told me a funny story about him recently. She said that he was playing alone in her kids' room and she went to check on him. He was standing in the middle of the room, shuffling his feet. She said it looked like he was experimenting with walking. But when she said, "Hi, Sven!", he looked up at her and then sat down. Like he didn't want her to see him. Sure enough, when she came back later, he was standing up again and shifting his weight between his feet as before. He was practicing but he wanted some privacy to do it in.
With all that practice, I'm pretty sure it won't be long until he switches to walking as his primary mode of transportation.
