He did it. At a few days off 15 months, we finally have a walker. For a few weeks now he has been taking a couple of steps here and there, but has become really proficient at walking holding just one of our hands, as we do it at every possible opportunity.

A little girl was playing with a rattle tube and he wanted it, so tried to take it off her, I told him no …
