8 month old trying to walk

Shelby

My son is 8 months old today, he shows little to no interest in crawling he will yell and scream and roll to his back when on his tummy but today he was sitting in one of the little baby chairs that sings music and talks and he was bouncing up and down and took 2 fast steps towards me. Is this normal? Do I let him keep doing it or not? My daughter didn’t walk till she was 13 months old. My step daughter tried to walk at 7 months but they stopped her because of fear of becoming bowlegged.
