Eleven months and look at youCruising round the sofa tooHand over hand along the wallShuffle shuffle don't you fallStep step step I'm right hereTake a step you've got no fearEverybody clap alongEleven months and going strongStanding all alone a whileBig surprise and bigger smileHands up high and feet apartHear the cheers from every heartStep step step I'm right hereTake a step you've got no fearEverybody clap alongEleven months and going strongOne more month and you are oneTime to celebrate the funBalloons and candles cake to shareBirthday magic in the airStep step step I'm right hereTake a step you've got no fearEverybody clap alongEleven months and going strong

About this milestone

Many babies cruise along furniture and stand alone for a moment before their first steps, and those steps can come a little before or well after the first birthday. Every baby moves at their own pace, so cheer every wobble.
