That thing called 'Walking'

So as you'd know, James started walking on Friday the 1st of May, when he was exactly 13 months old. And it was in the loungeroom at home with both Matt and I so he knows how to keep us both happy!!
Initially he walked when all things were perfect. That is, when he was already standing, when there was nothing in the way, and when the distance wasn't too great.
But within a week he was choosing to walk instead of crawl at most times, standing up when he fell and generally feeling pretty chuffed with himself!
Here's a video of the little man mastering his walking. The first half is when he'd been walking for about a week (I only just realised how both boys are dressed!!!) and the second half was taken after about 2 weeks. It's amazing how quickly he's become competent and balanced, and actually breaks into a run at times!
