Mom Accidentally Captures Her 9-Month-Old Baby's First Steps on Camera While Filming a Momtok Video, Then Her Wholesome Reaction Goes Viral

Babyhood is so fleeting, most parents feel like they're grasping at the precious moments of their baby's childhood. In the blink of an eye, a newborn baby is suddenly eating solid foods, then they're walking, then all of a sudden they're asking you if they can borrow the car for the weekend. What happens to time? That's why it's so important for every parent to be a part of their baby's firsts—because that first experience can never be retrieved again, making it all the more priceless.
