Max's first steps

As I mentioned in an earlier post, 90% of 15 months old toddlers are walking. Max was not one of them. We encourage him to walk all the time and he seems to have the strength and balance to do it but he won't. So last Tuesday, me and Rick took a last minute trip before I started my new job. We called home to speak to Jalen and the first thing he said to us was "Max is walking." We were like what?! Apparently, when Rick's parents picked Max his teachers at daycare said he started walking. And sure enough, he took a few steps towards Rick's mom at pick up. I was bummed that we missed that but with Max being in full time day care since before 1 year old, I figured I was going to miss some firsts. When we got home on May 26, he did take a few steps towards us back and forth. Since then, the child has kind of regressed. He won't stay up even though he can stand on his own. Anyway, 99% of 18 months olds are walking and let's hope Max is not that last 1%.
