Walking for the first time

I was about 7 months old and remember walking for the first time. I recall my feet hitting the floor from my Mother's bed and then swaying back and forth. The weight of my body on my feet was heavy. I remember walking down the hall into the kitchen.

My Mom was at the stove cooking. I must have made a noise, because the next thing I remember is Mom turning to see me before her. Her face registered complete shock, and she dropped the pot she had in her hand on the floor.

I did not ask my Mom about this until years later, and she confirmed my memory.

I have had this recall ability all my life. I have always felt like an outsider, because none of my family or friends can go back to infancy. Curious!!
