Good job mommys! My son is slowly trying to walk, he was on his way but we had a set back. However, he's back on the band-wagon and even when he falls and I catch him, he's not scared to try again! PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE!! hehehe...

hey!! My daughter is ten months next week. since she was 6 months, she began crawling, pulling her self up.. when she was 8 months, she has taken a few steps all by herself, but then decided to crawl the rest of the way. now she is walking with her walker all around the house. :o) and fast too!

Carson doesn't have the drive to try to crawl. He wants to try to walk everywhere. He just started in his walker about 3 weeks ago and books it around the house. He is just more interested in trying to walk. Last night I noticed as we were walking he tried to let go of my hands. (SCARY!) He also tried to let go of the couch too. It looks like I might have an early walker too. He just turned 9 months on the 30th.

Yeah my 10 month old has been walking since 9 months she crawled about 2 weeks and decided that was enough. My two year old walked at 10 months so I was not surprised

My lil man is doing the exact same thing.He pulls himself up and walks along the couch,and walks behind his walker,and his push along toy. Hes starting to stand by himself now and when he realizes it he sits back down.I cant wait till he can walk,cause he tries to chase his brothers around the house.

Yea my son was taking steps at 8 1/2 months and he has been a pro at walking at 9 months...Now I really have to keep a close eye on him because he's literally into everything.

My little girl is 10 months old and is walking solo (stopping freq to crawl around and examine things but then gets back up again)

It actually sucks though, no one seems to believe you when you say that.. definatley people with babies around the same age (and yet some of them aint crawling yet)

Every baby is different, some just more devoloped.. but its amazing how quick it goes!

My litle girl has been walking around the furniture for about a month now, and has started to walk the full length of the living room using her walker! I started walking when i was 10months old so think she is following in my footsteps! lol

My son Raphael does the same thing, but then again my oldest son was 8 months and a half when he started walking and my daughter was 10 months old!!! as for beeing hard to keep track of ......tell me about it he's already climing the stairs so i have to put a chair laying down in front of them so he can't reach...:)

My baby girl was born 4-4-09 and she has been doing that since she was 7mos. Now she takes a few steps by herself and walk to her brother. My son (he's 14) was the first person she walked to. I'm so jealous LOL She still prefers to crawl everywhere but she keeps trying to walk everyday. :) it's so cute!

U must be a proud Mum children vary when they start to walk.Sounds like ur little 1 will be walking at 10 months.then u will have to put all ur household goods up on to the ceiling. Two of mine walked at ten months and 1 walked at 13 months . 1 of them always crawled backwards and then 1 day stook up and walked just like that. Good luck .Mary

My daughter Mya is also bursting to walk! She has been pulling up on the furniture for a few months now and will walk quite happily (and proudly with a great big smile on her face) across the room with her walk, infact anything she can get a hold of!! She is also a bit eager to climb up on things, she climbed up on her sisters chair the other day and just looked at me with a big smile as if to say "HI mummy, look what i can do!!!" i almost fell over running to get her down! She doesnt like to be caried so much anymore as she has been crawling for quite some time now, so she is a little wriggle bum! I think i am heading for some crazy times ahead when she does finally start to walk on her own! My oldest daughter walked at 10 1/2 months so i am thinking maybe Mya will be the same. Like many people have said all babies are different and will walk when they want to. Just enjoy some relaxing time before they do and after enjoy it even more. have fun!!

Cordy has been walking on her own for about 2 weeks now. She can easily make it across a room before she falls on her bottom. When I hold onto her fingers she tries to run so I know she is going to be a mover. I am going to be in trouble! :)

Melissa - posted on 01/25/2010

My son has been doing this for the last two months. He is almost ready to take his first unassisted steps I think. I have the hardest time trying to keep track of him now. I can't imagin trying to keep track of him once he does start walking. I am lucky that I have so much family around to help right now. I haven't been incouraging him just cause I'm not ready. Unfourtunatly the rest of my family is. He has this Pooh Bear toy that isn't really a walker but it has wheels and he took it the other day and pushed it clear across his and his brothers bedroom and almost out the door. It was cute but like I said I'm not ready.

My daughter has been walking holding onto things for several weeks. My boys didn't do that until they were almost 12 months. She has done everything about 3 months earlier than my boys. She claps and she rolled over and crawled early.

Rachel - posted on 01/25/2010

My daughter turned 9 months on the 23rd .... took about 5 steps on the 22nd and has been ever since! Her brother started walking at 10 months so I'm sure she will be to!

Heather - posted on 01/25/2010

Yeah!! Crazy. She started pulling her self up on stuff just before she turned 9 months. Now she is walking while holding on to the furniture. I think its pretty soon. But it’s ok. My mom told me I was walking early too and my hubby.

Racheal - posted on 01/25/2010

mine is pushing his walker and walking around holding on to furniture. he is also learning how to pull himself up on stuff.he has almost figured out how to get on the couch

Mindy - posted on 01/25/2010

My son too. He just turned 9 months on the 21st and he is even taking a step or two without any assistance. It's so cute.

Tori - posted on 01/23/2010

My son has also been cruising the couch and other furniture for a few weeks now He stands on his own for about 10 seconds before realizing it and sitting down and the walker is getting a workout.

Julie - posted on 01/23/2010

My daughter is doing the same thing. She walks up and down the hallway with her push toy and around all the furniture. I've heard that girls usually walk faster then boys, silly boys! We have a friend who's daughter is a month older and she is walking solo! She is walking everywhere so look out, it won't be long!

Michelle - posted on 01/23/2010

My Mekkailah is also walking while pushing things around, she's been doing this since she was 7 months! Not getting much time to myself now that she is so mobile, but it is very exciting! Yesterday she took her first steps and for me that means steps toward independence, which, is sad, scary and exciting at the same time :) Congrats moms, we've almost made it a year!!

Maranda - posted on 01/23/2010

My 9 month old was holding on to furniture and other things when he was 8 months old. Now he is pushing his walker around or I should say he runs with it and he will hold on to your fingers and walk. He stands by himself for a short period. Not going to be much longer!

Ashly - posted on 01/23/2010

My little girl took her first steps on Dec 31 and is now walking fully unassisted. She is now very sure of herself and walks more then she crawls! she is always trying to reach up and grap stuff and is getting very fast on her feet which can be more difficult to watch her lol.

Meryem - posted on 01/23/2010

yeah my little boy has been trying to walk for about 2 months now so we r waiting for him to walk any day now :))) It definately scary as he is still a little baby and to think that he can start walking anyday now shows that they grow very fast indeed.. I miss the days when we would just seat him in his bouncer and he would lie there :))) Good luck to us all when they do start walking :))))))

Debra - posted on 01/22/2010

Hi there
My boy is 9months and he wont sit down any more! he will stand up and walk around the furniture all morning! he thinks standing and walking is the coolest thing ever! Bring on the walking! just think you wont have to carry your little girl around as much!

Heather - posted on 01/22/2010

my son is trying so hard to walk he ll push his walker around is is try to take steps on his own!he also has a big brother to catch up to although his bro was walking at 10 months tooso were pretty sure that will will be walking in a month too

Melissa - posted on 01/22/2010

Yes, my daughter just started doing this also! And I was suprised, my boys were later... Im thinking she might skip crawling, once she gets the hang of it!

Jeannette - posted on 01/22/2010

Yes!!! My Jonas has been doing this for weeks. I blame the older siblings, he wants to do what they do. It's not uncommon at 9 months, just brace yourself.

Nicole - posted on 01/22/2010

My daughter does the same thing she walks all over the place pushing this little bike she can ride in and pushes it to get to places.

Sandra - posted on 01/22/2010

lol yes my april (29) baby is taking his first steps also. He walks all around, pushes chairs, his little car...whatever he can find...cruising the furniture.

Elisabeth - posted on 01/22/2010

My daughter took her first steps the other day. She has been cruising since she was 7 mo old (and started crawling at 5 mo). I imagine in a couple of weeks she'll walking!

Nancy - posted on 01/22/2010

my daughter was born on April 1st and has been pushing a large pampers box (we keep her small toys in) all over the living room floor since she was 9 months old. Mind you she falls every once in awhile but we just pick her up, sit her down and she's at that box again. I have a friend that her daughter was born the year before in April and she started walking at 8 months old. it was too cute to see. My son started the day after his 1st birthday. all kids are different, they do say the younger they start walking the more falls they take??? Don't know if thats true or not, I just find they fall no matter what age. LOL

Gemma - posted on 01/21/2010

It's crazy!! My daughters been pushing her walker thing for nearly a month and cruising round furniture!! She's not taking 8 steps by herself before she falls on her bum!! Reckon she'll be walking proper by 10 months at this rate?!! She can stand by herself for a good few minutes as well!!

Kerry - posted on 01/21/2010

My son is 9 months old and freely walking around the house... he took his first steps @ 8 months... I cant believe hes not my baby any more... hes a lil man :(

Jessica - posted on 01/21/2010

My daughter has been cruising for about 2 months now. She can stand independently and has taken as many as nine steps at once. It is so scary! How old was your baby when she started to crawl? My daughter was 5 and a half months. Is an early crawler an indication of an early walker?

Stephanie - posted on 01/21/2010

It's an amazing milestone for sure! I guess we all have to remember that all babies have different personalities and try things at their own pace. One experienced mother once told me, "I have three children....two are lawyers and the oldest is a waitress. The lawyers walked after 12 months and the waitress walked at 7 months." I guess these milestones aren't really predictors of our children's future but they sure are exciting to us now:) Enjoy this time!

Heather - posted on 01/20/2010

my three oldest walked at 10 months and my 9 month old tied to take a few steps today not holding on to anything. So I guess it just depends on how much she wants to do it. My daughter wants to so she can chase after her siblings

Kelli - posted on 01/20/2010

Yeah my little girl turned 9mths old today and has been cruising around on the furniture and walking behind her doll's pram for months now. I actually thought she would be walking by now, should'nt be long as she can stand on her own for a few seconds and has also taken a few steps when I let go of her hand. Seems that our little baby's arnt staying baby's for very long : (

Connie - posted on 01/20/2010

My little one has been cruising the furniture for over a month, walks with the push toy, and attempts to stand without holding on for several seconds. It's scary that he might be walking soon. Chasing him around on his hands and knees is hard enough.

Connie - posted on 01/20/2010

My son has been walking since the beginning of January. He's now a Pro! He walks all over the house. His new milestone is standing up by himself, without pulling himself up on furniture. Give it another 3 weeks and your little one will be doing the same! It's so exciting!

Jessica - posted on 01/20/2010

Yep! Mine started walking at 6 months(her daddy started walking this early too, so he was happy that she took after him, lol) and is now cruising all over, it is very hard to keep up with her now! But it's also a lot of fun to see her moving about & using her legs to chase the cat :)

Michelle - posted on 01/20/2010

yes my daughter has been doing this since November she is now attempting to let go of the furniture but has not taking any steps away from it has not figured out the walker yet but loves to use it as a ride on toy

Lori - posted on 01/20/2010

My child is already taking steps towards stuff, he has been walking around the couches since he was 8 months...crazy!!! Now he will take about 5 steps from me to my husband and just in the last week he started taking steps towards toys off the couch. He doesn't have it down yet, but will have it soon!!!! They grow up way to fast!

Cecily - posted on 01/20/2010

One of my twin boys LOVES to stand up on his own and take steps while holding my hands....he crawls as well but not as good as his brother, he would just prefer to be standing all the time! My other son is a proffessional crawler and hard to keep up with!! He is slowly learning how to pull himself up and still a little wobbly but I am sure I am going to have at least one early walker! Good luck

Cerrisa - posted on 01/20/2010

My daughter is walking as of 1/1/10 and first started taking steps on 12/23/09. My first daughter started walking at 8 months so it is nothing new for us. Good luck with this new milestone and good luck keeping up with her! :)

Tasha - posted on 01/20/2010

Oh ya my girl walks all over, she goes from one piece of furniture to the next and can make it all the way around the living as long as she can reach something with one hand
