claps when asked, walked 17 steps

Went to one of the "toddler" classes and spoke with other mothers about their baby walking. In fact some babies go through the transition from crawling to walking pretty quickly ie within a few days or so, while quite a few babies took more than THREE MONTHS from the first step to walking proficiently. It has become more apparent to me Jasper may take months before walking independently. He walked 17 steps yesterday before falling. Also, when I say the word "clap" and "clapping" he claps his hands it happens each time everytime, this has started to happen a few days ago. He can understand words like "milk", "water", "biscuit", "eat" etc these words usually catch his attention. I havent taken any picutures these days but a lot of video clips. Given he is constantly on the move, it is much easier taking video clips and just select a frame or two to turn into a picture. When it comes to bed time he has become quite naughty, he throws all the pillows, beddings and soft toys out of the cot to the floor and then shouts for attention.
