This week has had lots of ups and downs, especially with sick little Benjamin. Despite the restless nights and grumpy little bear, Benjamin overcame his fear of "letting go" and finally decided to let go: He began to walk! Deep down I knew he could walk by the time he was 12 months old. He always grabbed my hand and took the lead to wherever he desired to go, but every time I tried to let go, he dropped down to his knees to crawl. He'll walk next month for sure! I'd always say. 3 months and I diaper change later, we walked to the kitchen to see what daddy was cooking, and just like that, he let go! He was running in circles and up and down, it was amazing! It was so precious yet so weird seeing him walk and look like an actual toddler because I was so used to him crawling for so long. It's so funny because the day we took him to his 15 month check up, the doc asked us if he walked, when we said "sort of" he looked shocked and said to keep an eye on it and if in another month or 2 he still didn't walk, they'd probably do some studies on him. That honestly freaked me out cus I just figured he hadn't had the confidence, but to think something might be wrong was scary.
Thankfully, everything is okay and he was just a late bloomer! So don't worry mamas if you feel like everyone else's babies are already walking and yours is still crawling, your little one is developing at his or her pace and she'll get there in no time! xoxo Comments are closed.
