Toddler Who Hasn't Been Out Much in Lockdown Struggles With Shoes

A baby born during the pandemic has gone viral after her parents shared a hilarious video of her trying to walk in outdoor boots for the first time. In the side-splitting video, viewed almost 30 million times, dad Seyi Adesola can be heard belly laughing as his one-year-old daughter Lael rises to her feet and then sways backward and forwards, her arms waving and face looking shocked as she tries to gain her balance. Lael, from Ontario, Canada, started walking in October, but due to local restrictions, most of that walking time was spent indoors and in soft-bottom baby boots. This month, however, mom Makeeda Johnson decided it was time for Lael to get some official winter boots so that she could step outside. Makeeda captured the moment on video on January 21, later sharing it online and soon seeing the clip go viral.
