My wife sent me a text: “He started walking today”. That was it. I was 1000 miles away on a business trip, and all I got was a text.

Haha, there's no real way to get a video because it happens too fast. Almost all the things my daughter did weren't captured because I didn't have a baby cam watching our daytime activities. That's just how it is. Besides, my little girl was stumbling around a lot before she started walking so it's hard to say which were the first steps anyway. She particularly wanted to hold our hands and walk using us as supports and then she started stumbling around and then she walked and I'm damned if I can say which was the first time she walked. All pretty joyful though.
