After many, many months of pulling himself up on furniture and crabbing his way around it, plus a short lived (twice I think) attempt at standing on his own around new year, Edward has finally decided to consistently balance himself on his own two feet.

He continued to practice that for a day and the following morning decided it was time to try out a few steps! I think his current record is three, or possibly four (do you count the stumble down to the floor?).

He still prefers a rapid crawl to actually get somewhere but seems quite happy to practise a few steps when encouraged. So we'll keep encouraging and hopefully he'll be properly toddling before too long!
