Poll: Baby Mobility

[dawnfire]

Let's see where our babies are mobility-wise!  I hope I'm not the last one to the crawling party.  Elias is only good at rolling all over the place.

DS is crawling, scooting and pulling up and walking around all sorts of things. He will take 2-3 steps without holding on to anything to reach for something he wants. He will stand unassisted for about 10 seconds before falling on his butt.

DD is crawling and scooting and pulling up on everything, she takes steps while holding on to things and with the vtech walker (with my help) and stands for a few seconds by herself.

[bullybutt]

DD has been crawling and pulling up and walking with her walker and along whatever she can hold on to. She will walk with me holding her hands up but she quickly lowers herself to the ground when she is free standing. She just won't try to do it on her own yet. Her brother was already walking at this point. She will get there soon.

DD is crawling, cruising along furniture, and lets go of furniture to practice standing up unassisted. I'll still be surprised if she walks before she turns 1, but we shall see.

LOL at the 5K option!!!

[anotherdreamer]

Both my girls (10.5m) are cruising and climbing all over everything. The climbing is getting out of hand. They push things up to the furniture to use it as a step-stool -_- They can stand unassisted for awhile now.

DD1 tried taking one step a couple weeks ago, but nothing since. She walks around on her knees so she can carry/hold things while getting around right now.

Eta: DS took a couple steps at 10m but he wasn't really walking until 13m. We'll see how these two go, they are way more determined... They want to chase DS and shadow him.

anotherdreamer, there go the knees of DD1's pants! That makes me cringe at the thought of carpetburn.

Yeah lol. The only carpet in the house is in their room at least

Who is it that has the twins that are already walk-racing?

[lucanjo14]

DS crawls, pulls up to stand and walks holding on to something. He can take a few steps unassisted when he wants to. It's cute to watch but he's been hitting his head and falling more now that he's trying to walk. Poor kid always seems to have some kind of lump or red mark somewhere.

This is where DD is at, but I think it's going to be later than sooner for walking on our end.

quinncat I think.

[littlemissmarla]

No real crawling here, semi-armyish crawl, lots of rolling. She was late to roll so i'm sure she will be late to crawl if she ever does.

[Liv]

crawling allllll over really fast, and pulling up on everything. she likes to walk holding onto our hands but hasn't tried standing unassisted yet.

+1 but I consider the army crawl a crawl.

[kelpsu]

No real crawling yet. Likes to walk while holding my fingers though. I think we may skip crawling all together... But who knows. He whines and Mommy picks him up or brings him what he wants so it's all her fault. Damn that woman!

Haha, that's us!  

Elias: *picks up ball and rolls/throws it out of his reach*
Mommy: "Awwww, let me get that for you cutie!"

It's so hard! He's too cute and I just want to give him all the things!

[bigrock74]

Spencer has been crawling for just over 2 months now. He walks along furniture but has only stood unassisted a handful of times.

I can't image what you Mom with crawling twins are going through. ONE IS ENOUGH!!

[anotherdreamer]

Just to update... DD1 took about 4 steps tonight, and keeps taking a step here and there this evening, so apparently we're working on that walking thing. Scary thought.

This is where we're at too. Thinking of strapping a bicycle helmet on LO's noggin until he's steadier!

[isolemnlyswear]

C does a mixture between zombie and traditional crawling. She's pulling up on furniture like crazy.


My sister dubbed her crawling zombie not army because in the beginning she would just use her arms and drag her body. We're walking dead fans if you couldn't tell haha

[lucanjo14]

Update: DS keeps taking steps unassisted without holding on- it's getting more frequent and last night he had about 8. Craziness.

It's me. Ds2 started around 9 months (he crawled at 6) and dd was 10 months. Ds2 just wanted to follow big brother. Dd just kept practicing after that until she got it.
It really does make my job easier now that they are walking. Ds1 was a early walker too.
