Rocky Barker Takes His First Steps: Inside Kourtney’s Latest Parenting Playbook
Hold onto your socks: the breaking news of the week involves a tiny human finally attempting human locomotion. Kourtney Kardashian marked 19-month-old Rocky Barker’s walking debut in an Instagram photo on June 13, sharing his confident stride down a sleek hallway. In the snapshot, Rocky rocked khaki pants and a black tank emblazoned with “13” on his back, while mom Kourtney stood by in leather and beige, arm outstretched like a reluctant coach. And yes, it’s so monumental that you’d think he just brokered world peace.
The proud Poosh founder captioned the moment with her usual mystic flair—“True love will always bring you back home to your own soul”—because nothing says milestone like quasi-mystical parenting quotes. Of course, this walking business doesn’t mean she’s letting go. On Khloé’s Khloé in Wonderland podcast in May, Kourtney revealed her attachment-style parenting plan: full-duration nap cuddles, a trusty breastfeeding pillow, and an EMF-blocking “radiation” blanket to guard against those evil phone vibes. Toddler naps now last up to five hours, which is either parenting genius or a strategic plan to binge a whole season of reality TV.
While Rocky takes his toddling tour, his older siblings—Mason, 15; Penelope, 12; and Reign, 10—probably rolled their eyes at yet another baby update. Because who wouldn’t want the world’s most famous toddler’s every milestone live-streamed? Travis Barker chimed in with his own proud-dad posts, from Rocky banging on a mini drum kit (the apple doesn’t fall far from Blink-182) to storytime sessions featuring Inside Out 2. It’s a non-stop carousel of adorable content, which is charming unless you forgot to scroll past it for three minutes.
Beyond daily walkathons and drum circles, the family scrapbook includes a Mickey Mouse meet-and-greet at Disneyland on Rocky’s first birthday, leopard-print beach frolics for Kourtney’s 46th birthday, and Halloween skeleton onesies that had more bones than a paleontology convention. Throw in candid breastfeeding selfies backstage on Blink-182’s summer tour and you’ve got a toddler résumé that overshadows most adult LinkedIn profiles.
Through it all, Kourtney maintains a single mantra: “Just my motherly instincts… Mother knows best.” That explains the full Steiner-style parenting setup—because nothing says “secure attachment” like a baby burrito swaddled in EMF-blocking knitwear. Tune in next time for more life-changing reveals, like when Rocky first utters the words “Poosh” or demands his own reality special. So there you have it. Humanity at its finest.
