He may have taken his sweet time, but at last he’s made it: Naoki walks!
I think all he needed was a little motivation. After all, there’s no doubt crawling is safer – and in his case much faster!
Witness these historic moments as he embarks on the next leg of his adventures:
Next up: running, dancing, jumping and pretty much anything else that can be done upright!
Stay tuned.

Nice, nice! Congrats little man.
one small step for naoki, one big step for mankind
So cute!
(perfect music by the way…)
It melts your heart! So sweet!
Well done young man, you too Naoki!!
Thanks all! Naoki appreciates the encouraging words!
Awesome!! By the way, love all the Garfield paraphernalia–I seem to remember much of it from about 20 years ago–am I right?
Erin & Mish – haha… yep!! What you see is honestly about all that remains of the legendary collection.
What a Runner – he may make it to the 2030 Olympics in the Fast Walking Event. Music is well suited to the walk. Keep up the work Naoki – we are soooo proud.
Papa and Gram
Wow! He is growing up very fast.
I also noted that his crawling has been improved from what he did at his 1st birthday party, hasn’t it?
Okumura-san – Yep, quite a bit better! Now though he’s walking more and more everyday… I guess before we know it the crawling will end!
