Walking progress

Boy is making good progress with walking.

Now,

. He likes to walk "monkey-style" by holding our hands while we stand behind him. Sometimes he chooses to walk rather than crawl.

. He can walk 8 steps unassisted.

. He can cruise with one hand holding on support

. He can walk slowly with us holding one hand while we walk beside him

The MIL says husband walked at about 17 months, and expects Dom to be the same. In many ways Dom is similar to husband. That's both good and bad! Husband disliked drinking milk, and Dominic suddenly lost interest in milk about a month ago. It was as if a switch just got turned off. Intake dropped from 7 ounce a feed to 3, just like that. Without warning, no rhyme nor reason. We are at wit's end.

Well, they being similar gives me a guide on what to expect from Dominic, at least.
