Walking babies

[sararl07]

Now that our babies are mobile I thought it would be nice if we had a thread that let us keep track when our LO hit the important milestone of walking.

Post your pictures and or videos of those moving feet in action.


I think J14 currently has 4 walkers but I could be mistaken.

DD1 is getting pretty good at walking now, DD2 takes a couple steps.

I look forward to watching Zoey walk at her Kindergarten graduation... that's how far into the future I expect walking to happen LOL.

[sararl07]

so both sets of twins are walking?

[anotherdreamer]

sararl07, I know quinncat's are. My DD2 isn't very well yet, it's just a couple steps here and there. DD1 walking is her biggest motivator That's how most milestones seem to go with these two.

It sounds like you are talking about The Walking Dead, haha

Nick started walking at 9 months and Josie at 10. I miss my little crawlers, but having both of them walk makes my job so much easier.
I don't know how to post a video or pic on pro boards. I did post a video awhile ago on our Facebook page.

So funny! I have always heard that girls develop faster, but mine is taking her sweet time with all this. I'm hoping she's walking by the time her brother comes around though, so I have my hands freed up a little!

We had 3 little steps the other night, but she definitely prefers crawling right now, so I'm not calling it yet. She will stand up unassisted from a sitting position and just stand in the middle of the room, but if she wants to go anywhere, she drops down and crawls.

This is us too. When he takes steps he gets so excited and tries to move faster and then face plants.

[sararl07]

I consider walking as the ability of taking more than 3 steps. Currently that is the number LO can quickly squeeze while falling forward. She can't stand up with the assistance of a wall or something else)

I've decided DD Does a Zombie crawl. You know when you see zombies in the movies and they don't have legs but drag themselves from side to side and then fall over ... Yep that's where we are at.

Haha that's what we called C's when she was doing that she zombied crawled for almost two months. It cracked me up all the time. Enjoy!

To those of you ladies with walkers- are they walking all the time instead of crawling? Ds can walk but he chooses to crawl.

This is us right now. She gets around much more quickly crawling so she chooses that the majority of the time.

[lucanjo14]

It's probably about 60/40 right now- he walks quite a bit but still gets down to crawl as well.

Mine are 11m1w- DD1 walks 85-90% of the time. She still crawls when she wants to get somewhere fast though (like when she notices I left the gates open). DD2 only if we or an object are within 5 steps. At this age DS was behind even DD2, he was only taking a couple steps to objects.

I'm in the same camp as littlemissmarla though we don't even zombie crawl yet. I'm trying not to freak out about all the milestones he hasn't hit yet, but the older he gets the harder it is for this mama to chill out about it. Like I worry (maybe irrationally?) about when he turns one and they move him to the next room at daycare if he's not even crawling.

[sararl07]

DD mostly crawls. The most steps she has taken in a row is 9

[dawnfire]

@zerozeroone, yeah, in my head I know that for averages to be an average, there's got to be some on both sides of the bell curve. I just don't like when it's my baby on the "I'm behind others, oh noes!" side of the bell curve.

I know when he goes off to college someday I'll look back at myself and laugh at this.

Still no waking here but it looks like she's ready. She's basically running with three push walker and while holding my hands but hasn't taken any independent steps. It's mostly my fault I think (or at least I'm telling myself). I basically read my mother the riot act about having her first steps at moms house. I really want to see it first and I'm so close to being off from work that I want her to hold off until I'm with her 24/7 to see it! Selfish I know but what's another week. I just feel like she's going to go from first steps to running and I'll have missed out on this exciting milestone with her.
