Hang in there and take things one day at a time. He does seem to be trying and it will probably be a while before he really "gets it." In fact, all of us males will forever suffer from DAM disease because it is just part of who we are. That doesn't mean we're not growing and changing, but just that men don't seem to be naturally able to "get it" as easily as you ladies do.
So, keep on your toes, but do continue to notice the "baby steps" he is taking. He'll be making small strides for a long, long time yet. There is no way he's ready to sprint w/ you right now. For the time being, let him crawl around and pretty soon he'll be propping himself up on the furniture and trying to find his balance to take those first important steps.
It is a big process. Protect yourself in the meantime, but don't be so guarded that you miss the progress he's making.
