First steps?

DS took 5-6 steps on 1/20 and 1/21 and then nothing until this weekend.  On Sunday he did about 8-9 steps and since then he has been taking a lot more small steps.  So my question is for his baby book should I mark down 1/20 as his first steps or this past weekend?

I counted that very first tentative step in his baby book. So mine says "first step 1/20, and by your birthday you could cover half the room!"

In thinking about this, many things in his baby book are spans of time. Like with crawling since it happened so gradually, it says mid-October or something like that. So you could do that too. You could say 1/20, but started walking a little bit every day by mid-February.

I have several milestones just marked in the timespan that they happened.  Milestones are all so hard to pinpoint.  So I would say his very first steps were 1/20, and that he started taking more this weekend.

I marked it on the day he actually took his first unassisted steps.  So mine also looked something like yours......I would do what pps suggested, first steps on 1/20 and walking more by mid-February/your birthday.

Thanks guys that is what I am going to do.  I am working on finishing his baby book this weekend so I just wasn't sure what to do.

I listed my DD's 1st steps that she took even though now, a month later, she is still not walking and still not taking many more steps but she is taking 1-2 steps at least once a day.  I have it listed as 1st steps and when she starts walking, I'll list that as well.  She walks great while holding onto just my finger so I know its just a matter of time but my DD doesn't do anything fast - she was like with crawling too, she would do a drop of crawling but not really get anywhere and that went on for 3 months until she knew she could do it and then she went non-stop.
