my little girl is the 25 and she has been walking with things for a few months now but she just seems really unsure of her self. she will even walk with something as small as a ball in her hands but as soon as she lets it go she sits down

my oct 10th daughter has been walking along furniture since 7 months. She took her first 3 steps on Aug 11th. she seems a little scared to walk. she holds onto my hand or the couch. She will bend her knees to sit back down instead of falling, so I know it is not a balance issue.

Wow. That's scary. We are nowhere near it. Harry has only just started commando crawling. If he's anything like his older sister, he'll be a late walker. Grace didn't start walking till she was 17 months.

My daughter was born on the 19th of Oct. She has been walking along furniture and pulling up on everything and everyone since two days after she started crawling which was a little over 3 months ago. she takes tenative steps between my husband and I, but will not do it on her own yet. She has gone from walking with both our hands to just holding one of our hands. I think she just needs to build up her confidence and she will be up and going in no time. I encourage her as much as I can and when she does take a few steps on her own we both praise her till she smiles or laughs. I look to be running after her real soon, lol.

Our son is almost 10 1/2 mths and isn't walking yet. He's just starting to stand on his own and that makes us very happy! Our 2 older boys were walking very well by 11mths. Our youngest may not be there by that age but who knows. Every baby is different also so who cares when he starts walking, he will get it when he's ready and that's all that matters!

Leilani was born in october 9th and she has been standing ever since she started crawling just before 6 months. Prob about 7 months she was cruising at 7 months and began taking independent steps at 8 months. Saturday she mastered being able to stand up from the ground without pullin up on things and now she's just full time walking!

She has always been ahead of all her friends, even in size. Her 9 months appointment she was 21.5 lbs and 30" tall!!

We're in the same boat as you Tiffany...my daughter Skyla was born the 9th of Oct. and she just started to crawl about 2 weeks ago. But since then she has learned to pull herself up on the couch, chairs, end tables, even doors! She walks along the couch and her play table and walks while holding our hands. She can stand without holding anything for up to 10 seconds or so but gets kinda excited then looses her balance. But she is advancing SO fast everyday that I expect her to walk by 12 months if not earlier. I see it might take longer for them to have the confidence to take their first steps according to other moms on here. Each baby is different though. Skyla has liked to stand since 2 weeks old and started in her jumper at 3 months. I didn't expect her to really want to crawl but I think she likes the independence...now I just have to wait and see if that makes her walk LATER or if she won't be satisfied with being on the floor. So, our girls may take awhile or walk in a couple weeks. Either way...we're in for some real changes and a lot of chasing!! ;)

My daughter Amaya was born on October 16th. She walks along furniture, but was a late crawler. She loves her jumeperoo, and so she is always trying to stand on her tip toes lol. I think it may be awhile before she walks. She is starting to let go of the couch though and just stand holding nothing for a few seconds. A lot of babies start at around 9 months though. =)

Our Oct.23rd baby is pulling himself up on furniture and motoring around on his hands and knees, but no walking yet! He occasionally gets brave enough to let go of the furniture, then balances for a few seconds before falling on his bum. Good luck with your little mobile one!

Harry was born 2nd Oct 09...he has been walking unaided for almost 3 weeks - ive just got him his first proper pair of walking shoes !! People look at me like im crazy when I tell them he has just turned 10 months. He was 2 weeks late though and i sometimes wonder if that counts x

I've gotten a lot of suggestions that my son is ADHD as well. I think they are just full of energy! You can't tell this early! My son is just curious && wants to be in the middle of everything!

My son was born October 20th as well and he's been walking for about a month now. He's started sitting up on his own, crawling up on all fours, && standing in his 5th month. But he's really lightweight, only weigh's about 17 lbs now.

Yes my little one is crazy about walking, always pushed to stand from very young and stood around 6months. Now she is busy taking proper steps at 9 months on her own. Do you find people say that your baby shouldn't be walking yet, some have even suggested she will have ADHD because she has never crawled. i've tried heaps but she's not intrested. I think she's happy so leave her to it but there are so many busy bodies out there it can get upsetting.

Our son was born on 19th October. He has been walking holding our hands for about 6 weeks, and lately he has been trying to let go of our hands. For the last week or so, he's been trying to stand alone and even trying to take a step. I know that he has to do it, but it's sooo nerveracking!

My son took a step about a week ago (he was born Oct. 9), but he mostly just stands unassisted and walks along the coffee table and couch, holding onto it.

My niece walked at 9 months. Pretty amazing if you ask me. My daughter was born Oct. 23, 2009 and is able to pull herself up...she acts like she wants to walk but isn't sure of herself yet. You should be very proud of your baby!

My son was born on the 25th of October, 2009 and he started walking about two weeks ago. Just yesterday he started running. I can't believe it! I was counting on a couple more months of crawling! Good luck with your little one!

Sophie is starting to pull up, but not close to walking. I wanted to say though my mom said both my sister's and I all walked at 9 months and never crawled. So I guess it can happen that early! =o)
