Walking progress

Charlie was keen to try and walk up until about the turn of the year, but since then he has been lazy. He prefers to crawl and to only walk whilst holding on to things.

Saying this, however, Charlie's walking ability is progressing and he did walk about 20 unaided steps last night. I stood close to him and he thought it was only a few step walk so he went for it. I continued moving away from him and he ended up at 20 steps and still going strong when he caught me. If I had started that far away from him in the first place I am sure that he would have made no attempt to walk towards me.

Do intend to be spending more time with him over the Chinese New Year and hopefully his walking ability will increase in leaps and bounds, or at least in lots of small steps.
