Kayden Elijah’s mother, Nikki Sessoms, uploaded the clip, which shows the toddler cheering “I got it! I got it!” over and over again with each step he takes with the walker. He was born with [omphalocele](http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000994.htm), a birth defect in which the intestines stick out of the belly button. His mother set up [GoFundMe](http://www.gofundme.com/steppinoutonfaith) and [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/kayden.kinckle) pages to solicit support for the youngster’s medical expenses. **WATCH:** [The Home That Made “Life Easier” for a Quadruple Amputee Veteran](http://time.com/2925287/smart-home-marine-veteran-amputee-john-peck/) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/2965865/watch-the-moment-when-a-2-year-old-amputee-finally-gets-the-hang-of-walking/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/2965865/watch-the-moment-when-a-2-year-old-amputee-finally-gets-the-hang-of-walking/"},"headline":"Watch The Moment When a 2-Year-Old Amputee Finally Gets The Hang of Walking","datePublished":"2014-07-08T14:41:05.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:11:28.401Z","description":"He keeps saying \"I got it!\"","url":"https://time.com/2965865/watch-the-moment-when-a-2-year-old-amputee-finally-gets-the-hang-of-walking/","keywords":["Newsfeed","viral"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Olivia B.
