A running start

Over the past several weeks, Caleb took advantage of any furniture or grown-ups he could find to hold on to as he maneuvered himself around. Two days ago, Dave and I started trying to get him to walk back and forth between us, but the only way it would work is if we gave him a running start.

Yesterday, my mom worked with him, teaching him to first get his balance and then try a few steps. It worked! He doesn't always want to walk though; he wants to run! He also learned yesterday that he can use the train my Granny bought him to help support him as he walks across the room -- unlike the furniture that limits him to a certain area. Here are a few clips I put together of this learning process:

After Dave came home last night, Caleb decided to show off some more. I counted nine steps in a row at one point. (Please excuse how ridiculously excited I am in this video.)
