My one year old sweet little son just stepped into another adventurous year one month ago and he is starting to toddle to prove he has become a true toddler.
He is toddling like a DUCK and talking like a PARROT
We watched him walk a full stretch of 10 feet going back and forth touching the TV. We were so happy to see him toddle like a duck and trying to balance with his hands.

For Parents, every stage of kids life is special and different with interesting things to look out and watch for all the time. Every kid is unique on its own and very special for their parents. They progress differently. As adults, we tend to enjoy their innocent smile, duck walks, crawling, peculiar sounds they make and every little things they do. I guess its because we see ourselves in them. We see a little version of us in their naughty, no-worry life and try to cheer it. That's what I feel when I see my son.
We been waiting to see him walk all this time from the day he turned one. We have the cameras
ready to tape this finest moments. He showed some signs of walking with bit of support, so we hoped he would be walking in no time on his own. Since he is a fast crawler, my wife kept saying he won't walk soon because he crawls fast.

Since he is a fast crawler, my wife kept saying he won't walk soon because he crawls fast. Kids who crawls fast doesn't tend to walk or toddle soon is her myth since they can crawl soon enough to reach places and they don't put special effort to walk to reach places. That may be actually true in my son's case.
When we tried to make him walk, he don't want to walk. He just want to crawl to go any places. He can crawl and reach upstairs in 5 secs. He is so finicky to not to walk rather choose to crawl. I have seen some kids don't crawl well but they start to walk soon. I know it all depends and varies from kid to kid. So we just have to wait a little long with patience.
He suddenly started walking one day and trying to walk continusly without any support now. We were so thrilled to see him walk more often and taking trips to his favorite places in his cute duck's walk steps.
He also started responding to our chats thru his cute little childish speeches, trying to convey something. He repeat words like a Parrot when my wife teaches him.
She would says, "VIJAI". He would say, EEEJAY.
I say, "APPA", he would try to say, "IPPPA".
When we try to stress on it, he wouldn't do it. Kids have it own way of doing things and have their own mood cycle. We have to wait to get on to their cycle to go along them. That's what we learnt so far and every day is a new learning for us. He is starting to get good at repeating numbers too. He is a fast learner(like me, I suppose)
He say, "theedreee" for "Three" and "TTooo" for "Two".
When he repeats them, he is blushing with mouth full of teeth's.
We are totally enjoying every bit of our son's childhood. Kids are so adorable and their funny activities make us feel like we are reliving our child life. Don't you agree?!
I know the days are not too far out when he is going to get on my nerve's and make me mad.I hope I can handle that time.
