Learning to walk should be very difficult, especially keeping your balance on two feet. It must be so complicated that you need to spend all day practicing. And that's what my baby Arturo is almost a year old.
I think this is one of the most dedicated times for parents, apart from the first three months and the age of rebellion. It is also for his brother because he observes the exclusive dedication to the future walker there is a revival of jealousy, it is what happens with my older son who is demonstrating a behavior of wanting to attract attention all the time. When they learn to walk, they cannot take an eye off them, they must be alert, because in a little carelessness they can suffer an accident.
While taking his steps, it is as if a small tornado passed at home, leaving scattered things all over the floor of the house. We have adapted the room for little Arturo, a carpet and cork puzzles foreseeing the common falls in this very active time for a baby.
At night he is restless, and during the day he has a hard time taking a nap. His body asks for "march," while he asks us to rest.
Soon, it will begin to release and all care given will be minimal. My baby is becoming an older boy, this month he will be his first birthday.
