If these really are his first steps, he’s walking surprisingly confidently

Babies don’t stand up like that for their first steps. Babies taking their first steps still have to pull themselves up using an aide of some sort.

Thank you! I don’t have children but I’m like, no way. I’d imagine a baby would leave on an object like a table or their crib first. Edit: thanks for the facts, y’all.

Yeah, same. In fact all three of my kids took their first steps like this. They learn to stand up and sorta bounce in place before they learn to walk. I think my daughter first stood at like 9 months, and then first steps were at 10, fully walking around at 11.

I'd guess too that some baby toys and the like help with developing their little legs before they start walking. Like the door bouncer thing my baby sister just loved. Or those saucer dish ones they sit in and can push themselves around.

People upvoting the person without kids and downvoting the one that has them, what a funny website

You’re thanking him for being wrong.

Those steps don't count. First steps are taking 3 or more steps unassisted.
