Walk this way

Learning to walk is such hard work. You use approximately 200 muscles to walk.

Most babies take their first steps sometime between 9 and 12 months but some children don't walk until they're 16 or 17 months old, which is perfectly normal development

By 6 million years ago one of the earliest humans known, Sahelanthropus were bipedal according to evidence from the Smithsonian Institute. Walking upright may have helped this species survive in the diverse habitats near where it lived—including forests and grasslands.

The human body is an amazing thing and watching a child develop from a helpless infant to an independent pre-schooler is fascinating and should be considered a privilege in my opinion.
