North Carolina boy was born missing parts of all four limbs, but he just took his first steps and went viral for it: ‘They just do it differently’

Bryson, a 2-year-old from North Carolina, has officially hit a major milestone by taking his first steps. It’s a huge deal because Bryson was born missing both of his legs from the knees down and both arms from the elbows down. Over the past year, he has been getting fitted for prosthetics and learning how to balance himself. As his hard work pays off, TikTok and Instagram have been cheering him and his parents, Tyler and Bonnie Cox, along.

Shared under the handle starfish.chronicles, the recent video of him testing his new metal prosthetics with a push cart has already racked up around 600K views on both platforms. As the on-screen text for the video states: “Pov: you’re almost 2 and have cool robot legs, and you’re taking your first push walker only assisted steps! Motivated by your cool new Spider-Man legs and running over Dada.”
