My boy didn't walk until 20 months. He was quite tall with a biggish head so think it just took awhile to get his balance. He is 27 months now and is running around quite happily.

My son took his first steps when he was 9 months but didnt fully walk until he was 11 months. the best advice i can give is to have your kids around other kids who can walk its the best thing for them. after i put my son in daycare he came home walking.

My son was just shy of being 11 months old. He never like to be on his belly and we thought he'd never crawl, it's wasn't long after he started crawling that he was up on his feet and once he started walking he never went back to crawling. All my neices started walking between 12 months and 15 months.

About 13 or 14 months. He barely even learned to crawl before a year.... he'd started rolling around the house at about 8 months though.

Each child is different, but they really start becoming mobile pretty quick. Just takes a while for them to catch on to some aspects of mobility at times.

I suggest helping them as much as they want, but don't push it or try to force it to happen. One day they'll walk along furniture and the next day, something will snap and they'll be waddling around without holding anything.

My son was at the early age of 9 months old. At first we were all very excited that he was walking. But all I did was chase him around the house for hours trying to keep him out of danger. Saying NO every other second.
