These genes were made for walking and that’s just what Shawn Johnson East‘s baby is going to do.
Mere days before 9-month-old Bear—the Olympic gymnast‘s youngest child with former NFL long snapper Andrew East—took his first steps Sept. 23, Shawn predicted that he’d be on the move soon.
“He is a very fast crawler,” she explained in an exclusive interview with E! News. “And he will walk, I think, in the next two weeks, which is wild.”
Though not quite as crazy as his other feats of athletic prowess.
The day before her chat with E!, Shawn recalled, Bear was tooling around in a baby walker when she briefly lost track of him.
“He had gone around the corner to the stairs,” the 32-year-old described of the scene in her Nashville-area home, “he had crawled out of the walker, which I don’t know how that’s possible for a baby, and he had gone all the way up the stairs. I had an absolute heart attack. I was like, ‘This is not OK and it’s not normal.'”
