Mya has been on her feet pretty much from the beginning. is now 5mnths 2wks old and is crawling everywhere and trying to follow me round the house. Much to her frustration (and my pleasure) shes not too fast yet. I didnt walk till 14months and were unsure when her dad walked so your stories have given me hope that maybe shell take after me and not walk for awhile yet!]]> Sat, 13 Jan 2007 09:46:48 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5149&PID=100910&title=walking#100910 <![CDATA[Walking : jax wrote:I just bought a pack...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5149&PID=100026&title=walking#100026 Author: meow

Do you have a child lock on your dishwasher? Next she'll be into the slamming door stage, boy is that fun!

Zaara opens the two drawers in my coffee table and pulls every thing out of it.....with a huge mess all around and smile on her face...when I go " oh no Zaara what have you done?" she picks some thing from the floor and gives it too me!!! Arrrggg

Hubby removed every thing from that drawer and now when she opens them...she has very dissapointed look on her face!

I am going to go this weekend and but safety things too...as I am afraid she will hurt her fingers...she already did with the kitchen bottom drawer!! ]]> Wed, 10 Jan 2007 10:56:54 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5149&PID=99931&title=walking#99931 <![CDATA[Walking : I just bought a pack of latches...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5149&PID=99844&title=walking#99844 Author: jax

I don't know when DH started to walk but apparently I walked the week before my first b'day. Mum remembers it so well because we were camping and apparently I kept getting up, turning on the water bottle and playing with all of their drinking water

I don't trust Caitlin as she is already sussing out cupboard doors etc when she is in her walker.

Oh no unlike you Jess....Zaara does not like to be carried....she rather crawl. I think because she has the control as to where to go.

Now if I hold her one hand she will walk for ages...and she direct me where she wants to go....and try and tell her other wise....eeekkk

they do it when they are ready i am in no hurry for madison to start crawling or walking cause i still remeber kalem at that stage i couldn't leave him for 1 minute but she is not to far off crawling cause shes doing the whole crawling backwards stage at the moment kalem walked at 10 months and then crawled after that.

yah my plunket nurse said that in her little manual it says 18 months for walking...so Zaara has plenty time before we start getting worried. Mind you in the rate she is going, shell be off soon....

She is a very fast crawler tho and she didnt start till she was 9 months (she was crawling backward for two months).]]> Tue, 09 Jan 2007 15:54:38 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5149&PID=99596&title=walking#99596 <![CDATA[Walking : Jezsika wrote:I was a lazy...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5149&PID=99573&title=walking#99573 Author: meow

Kudos to those who have earlier walkers, my Ella walking at 13.5 months was early enough for me (esp since she started running the day after she started walking).]]> Tue, 09 Jan 2007 15:15:51 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5149&PID=99573&title=walking#99573 <![CDATA[Walking : My brother walked at 8 months,...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5149&PID=99533&title=walking#99533 Author: Roksana

9mos is the earliest I've heard. Both my girls started walking on their own in their 13th month which is pretty funny because Hannah started crawling at 10mos and Briona started crawling at 5mos! Briona was pulling to standing at 6mos which was a pain because she was a bit short for most furniture so when she fell down, she hit her head ]]> Tue, 09 Jan 2007 13:55:01 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5149&PID=99528&title=walking#99528 <![CDATA[Walking : Maya was standing at 7 1/2 mths,...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5149&PID=99516&title=walking#99516 Author: Maya

Maya was standing at 7 1/2 mths, walking unassisted by 10 mths but she spent a goot 2 1/2 mths furniture cruising before that. She was never much of a crawler, didn't start till 8 mths and much preferred being upright. I think the gremlins will crawl earlier as they love being on their tummies and can creep forward (unintentionally) already but I have a suspicion they will be late walkers. Don't know why I think that, just that they seem a bit lazy... ]]> Tue, 09 Jan 2007 13:42:36 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5149&PID=99516&title=walking#99516 <![CDATA[Walking : holly crap, i walked early but...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5149&PID=99514&title=walking#99514 Author: Deez

One of the girls on my MTB on EBB, her little boy will be walking soon and he's nearly 8 months. Another one of my friends (2 friends OMG!) little boys walked at 8 months. Both have siblings though.
And Carmel's little Piper could stand really well from a young age, but I think I just read that she started crawling at christmas time

I walked at 9 months and Charlotte walked at 10 months (I think Daddy not walking until 18 months must have slowed her down!). Is Ella crawling yet?

Andrew walked at 9 months. He was holding his weight for a long time (prob from 5 months). Did either of you or Cory walk early?
