MJ Started Walking on February 13

On February 13, MJ started walking! He just turned 15 months old when he started walking on his own.

Before February 13, MJ wasn't just cruising, he was walking confidently with help from a grown-up. The weekend before, I decided to give him some help.  Everywhere we went, I held his hand and we walked together. We went to lunch at Kyoto Restaurant and we walked to the car, with Grandpa Tak holding one hand and me holding the other. We walked around the house. We walked around the neighborhood with his push car. I suspected that this help would be enough to get him walking on his own.

Sure enough, the next weekend, he started taking a few steps on his own. He started with just a couple of steps, then more and more. He would take a few steps, then sit down or grab hold of someone or a piece of furniture.  Today, at 19 months, he is a confident walker. He doesn't crawl anymore, he insists on walking everywhere, and he tries to walk up and down the stairs (yikes!).
