Will he ever walk?

Just this past month, Benjamin has added 2 more bottom teeth. That brings our total to 8. He has added too many words to his vocabulary to count. He feeds himself with a spoon and fork. He is so incredibly smart. He is awesome at manners and sign language. He loves to dance with his sisters, play on the trampoline, be outside, and play on the piano. But the boy just won't walk! He can walk. I've watched him for almost 2 months now, take steps here and there. Just recently he's gotten up to 10 steps without falling. Thankfully, today I watched him let go of his toy box and toddle to his play kitchen (about 8 steps). Despite these accomplishments, he has yet to take off. How much longer till he walks? It's so crazy. He honestly prefers to crawl. And he is one fast crawler. I thought with a boy that he would walk sooner than the girls and just take off running. But he isn't that way at all. He is so very cautious. Maybe by Thanksgiving? I keep setting new dates. We shall see. : )
