Arms outstretched; fists white-knuck-ling.
Small feet are stum-bling.
She wants to take steps today.
Hair disheveled; voice mum-bling.
Girl starts a’ tum-bling.
Falling down won’t ruin her day.
Getting up; she’s still stru-ggling,
Short legs are fum-bling.
Fixed to take first steps today.
Crackers out; tummy’s grum-bling.
Wood floor starts rum-bling.
Steps are coming straight this way.
She’s close; crackers crum-bling.
And Mom starts bum-bling.
Baby took first steps today!

I think the uneven syllables of this form really lend themselves well to the gait of a child learning to walk.

You’ve captured a sweet moment. I’m impressed that the baby is walking for the first time and attempting to eat. That’s a go-getter!
