Ha ha, the gremlins didn't talk or walk - they must be really slow

Funny thing tho - they were nearly 4 mths later than Maya walking, yet now they are far more active an co-ordinated than she is.]]> Sat, 11 Apr 2009 11:09:05 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25784&PID=657871&title=when-did-your-baby-walk#657871 <![CDATA[When did your baby walk? : DD walked alone at 15mths.

DD walked alone at 15mths. She talks a lot and my plunket nurse did say they often focus on either movement or language.

She commando crawled from 8 mths, and didn't crawl on all 4s until after her first birthday. She pulled herself up and cruised furniture for a long time before walking.

ETA - ha ha she has just brought me her coat, hat and shoes - what is she trying to say?

Rowan is almost 16 months and loves walking with us holding her hands ('walk! walk!' is her catchcry at the moment) but she can't stand up on her own let alone walk on her own yet. She started crawling at 12 months.

Having said that she's more advanced than a lot of babies vocally so I guess that's what she's focusing on at the moment.]]> Fri, 10 Apr 2009 18:57:09 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25784&PID=657640&title=when-did-your-baby-walk#657640 <![CDATA[When did your baby walk? : Chiara sounds like Caden, he pushes...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25784&PID=657540&title=when-did-your-baby-walk#657540 Author: Shezamumof3

Chiara sounds like Caden, he pushes his toys around the floor as well, and stands up on his own and "dances" lol, like bouncing up and down. We did very little to encourage him as well, just let him do things at his pace, now when he stands up we will hold our arms out to him and he will take a few steps towards us, he is starting to stand up and take steps with out us holding our arms out too.

Caden has always been a very strong wee boy, right from day 1 he could hold his head up himself quite well, the midwives and doctors were quite surprised lol.]]> Fri, 10 Apr 2009 15:10:29 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25784&PID=657540&title=when-did-your-baby-walk#657540 <![CDATA[When did your baby walk? : Maya crawled at 8 mths, was pulling...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25784&PID=657460&title=when-did-your-baby-walk#657460 Author: Maya

Maya crawled at 8 mths, was pulling up from 7.5 mths and cruising the furniture and walked properly at 10 mths.

Gremlins didn't even move till 10 mths, and walked somewhere between 13 and 14 mths, probably closer to 14.

Lil miss was 9 mths yesterday and she is headed into first steps territory, she's standing on her own and too bloody confident for her own good, her fave thing to do is to push her toys around the floor, right now she's dancing behind her Noah's Ark and pushing it around. She's had very little encouragement from us (I wanted my baby to stay little for just a wee bit longer!) but I think having 3 big sisters is encouragement enough.]]> Fri, 10 Apr 2009 12:55:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25784&PID=657460&title=when-did-your-baby-walk#657460 <![CDATA[When did your baby walk? : RachandJack wrote:I think your...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25784&PID=657291&title=when-did-your-baby-walk#657291 Author: freckle

I was about to say exactly the same thing!!

... and yep developmental norms say 12-13months for walking with a range of 6 months either side...

I had one early walker (DD2) at tens months and one "average" on 1st birthday Cognitively they are much more prepared for walking at 12 months + so less stressful ]]> Fri, 10 Apr 2009 07:18:48 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25784&PID=657291&title=when-did-your-baby-walk#657291 <![CDATA[When did your baby walk? : Megan took her first steps around...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25784&PID=657272&title=when-did-your-baby-walk#657272 Author: NovemberMum

I think your more likely to hear early stories than late ones. Anyway the average age for walking is 13 months so for every kid that walks before 13 theres one that walks after.

I am such a slack mother I can hardly remember when my kids did stuff. I think Jack was 11 months when he walked and that was very encouraged. Caprece was about 15 or 16 months I think but she wasn't really encouraged like Jack was. Shes a lot more vocal than Jack was although at the moment pretty much every word she says is no.

Really by the age of 5 kids are pretty even in that they can walk, talk, jump etc. Early babies aren't proven to be any smarter or better at sports than later babies so don't worry too much. ]]> Thu, 09 Apr 2009 22:48:30 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25784&PID=657264&title=when-did-your-baby-walk#657264 <![CDATA[When did your baby walk? : Brae crawled properly at 6mnths....]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25784&PID=657227&title=when-did-your-baby-walk#657227 Author: Glow

Lauren didn't walk till 15 months, I thought she was never going too!

Alex started crawling at 7 months
Climbing up the stairs and, cruising at 7.5 months,
At 8 months could climb onto couch etc, and cruising almost constantly by then, but would freak out as soon as he let go of anything.
At 10 months he just let go and was off.
At 11 months he was running (non-stop) and could climb down stairs, and throw a ball.
And now at one he is trying to go up and down stairs like an adult (very scary), and is going 100km's everywhere.

We never really encouraged him just always been really active. Even in his sleep he can't stay still.lol.

Interesting to note that like some of you have said earlier about the talking. Alex only says 'ta' which he says for everything. And only in the last month has he really found his voice, constant babbling but no words....hmmmm. Maybe it's because he cant sit still for long enough to learn.

Sam used to cruise around on the back of his head for a couple of months before he started crawling on his hands and knees, he did that for the first time Christmas Day 07, so he was seven months old.

After that he started to pull himself up and walk around the furniture, and then at about 11 months old he started walking unaided and then two weeks after that he started running and has NEVER stopped!

I never really did anything to encourage him, he just did it when he was ready.   The one thing he did that came after ALL of that was sitting up.   My child hated sitting down so much that he waited until after he could walk to really do it properly.    

And.. as for talking, we got 'tsss at' for 'what's that' FOREVER.    He barely said a word until 16-17 months old and now he has a word for most things and can string 5-6 six words together.

crawled 5- 6 months

walked at 9 months (was actually closer to 8.5 , but easier to say 9 )

was speaking in three -four word sentences by 11 months , and ones that made sense too eg "mummy is nice " (and mummy is mean /yuck etc incidentally )

I didn't do anything to encourage her walking, I wanted her to crawl as long as poss, talking the only thing I did was never talked for her I suppose , her vocab was 250 words before she was 2 .

....funny that now the only things she knows how to say are " i hate you mum! " and " your the meanest mum in the world !!!"

I want Tyler to be as stationary for as long as poss, C stopped being a baby far too early ]]> Thu, 09 Apr 2009 11:34:01 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25784&PID=656705&title=when-did-your-baby-walk#656705 <![CDATA[When did your baby walk? : He started commando crawling at...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25784&PID=656699&title=when-did-your-baby-walk#656699 Author: _Deb_

18.5 months, thought he would never do it....lol

He commando crawled from 8-13 months, then crawled then at 15 months was cruising furniture at around 16-17 months he learnt to stand up unaided but didn't step out into nowhere until xmas day when he was 18.5 months. Within a few weeks he was running.

Oh and he learnt to climb long before he learnt walk

We didn't do anything to try and make him do it quicker, just left him to it really. He does have a push along truck which he walked behind before walking unaided but we never forced him to do that he just worked it out on his own.

With Jackson I would stand him up against the couch and encourage him to take steps towards me. Thats about all really. He was 10.5 months when he took his first steps, and now hes fully walking. So its taken about 3 weeks really.

Maddi sounds really clever!

Cammondo crawled at 5.5 months
Crawled on all fours at 10 months
Walked behind things at 9 months
walked round furniture etc at 11 months
walked on his own at 11 month 3 weeks.

Seemed to crawl for ages and ages and probably wouldn't ever have crawled on all four if we hadn't gone on holiday to Bali where the concrete was hot and scrathy. We didn't do a lot to encourage him.

Astin started crawling at 6ish months, walking around furniture at 8 months, walking a few unaided steps at 9 months and fully walking/running at 10 months.

ETA we wernt fussed on encouraging it to happen so we just let it be, we were super excited when it did happen though!!!!

We also had a wooden blocks trolley that both boys and nephew would push around the place when learning which we think helped.

Yeah I am not too worried. She is pretty vocal, a lot of what she says makes little sense but I can usually pick up the gist. This morning we were woken with 'Hi Dad, Hi Mum, Hello K(eira), Yayyyy"

 

She started crawling pretty early and has confidently been cruising around the furniture for months. She will stand for ages, or untill she realises she is standing. This morning she stood up againts the wall, let go and clapped for herself.

She too a single step the other day and lost her balance straight away, she really just doesnt seem interested in trying. She incrediably fast with her crawling and is a climbing machine so for her there is no rush. Just mummy getting impatient

Hazel has just started walking around the couch and Esme isn't far behind. I have done nothing to encourage it at all!!! lol. They have both been crawling for a couple of months now.

2 of my nephews didn't start crawling or walking until after their first birthday. But both were early talkers. I wonder if maybe they can only concentrate on one thing at a time. Is Maddi very vocal? My girls are hardly vocal at all but spend a lot of time on the move.]]> Thu, 09 Apr 2009 08:56:22 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25784&PID=656559&title=when-did-your-baby-walk#656559 <![CDATA[When did your baby walk? : Yesterday!!!

Yesterday!!!

We decided to call it walking yesterday as she took about 10 steps before planting bottom! Sophie has been crawling since just after Christmas (10 months) but pulled up on Christmas Day (thanks to the Christmas present we bought her). She has been creeping around the furniture for ages and using the push along toys to walk around. In the last 3 or 4 weeks we have been encouraging a few steps between Mum and Dad each day, but in the last week she has been doing it on her own.

Off to buy her first pair of shoes today .]]> Thu, 09 Apr 2009 08:55:54 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25784&PID=656557&title=when-did-your-baby-walk#656557 <![CDATA[When did your baby walk? : Just totaly out of curiosity.

Just totaly out of curiosity.

It just seems at the moment most babies Maddi's age have been walking for months.

I know it really doesnt matter, all babies do it at different stages and have no doubt she will eventually take off.

Did you encourage you baby to walk or just wait untill 1 day where they just got up and started?

How long was you baby crawling, walking, standing, cruising before they started walking?

How long did it take them to go from their first steps to confidently walking?
