When did your baby walk?

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?

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.

Bailey didnt move at all until 10 months!!! he didnt crawl, roll, drag or anything!! he just sat there observing then one night when he was 10 months DH and i were sitting in lounge when Bay just got up on his feet and started walking!! we were stunned mullets!!!

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.

Issy started crawling just before she turned seven months.

She started walking at 10.5 months. She would walk about five steps between furniture etc just before 10 months .. but it wasnt till she hit 10.5 months that she didnt ever revert to crawling.

Ummm.

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. He is not a big talker though so def focussed on moving more than talking!

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.

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

my friends baby walked at 7 months, she rang and told me , I told her I was sorry ...she understood a few days later when she rang and said how tired she was

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.

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.
