megan said...my son started crawling when he was 7-8 months old. He started by rolling over and then he pushed himself up by the arms and then put one hand in front of the other and voila he was crawling!

Cassie M said...My DD starting moving by raising herself up on her arms and then flopping forward...we called it the sea lion. Just before 7 months she started officially crawling and has been busy moving. We can't believe how fast she is changing!

Ariel said...My first son used to crawl by dragging one leg behind at a time. We were concerned, but since he alternated we didn't think anything was actually wrong with him. Then when he walked I had a feeling of excitement like how you feel after a first kiss with that special someone. After being married for years I thought that level of excitement was gone.
Now he's a walking, talking, reading, math problem solving kindergartner and I'm pregnant again. My first destroyed all the gates we had so it'd be great to win another one.

Rachel Gray said...My son took his first steps while visiting my Dad. We were all so excited, but boy were we in for it when we got back home. That's when the real babyproofing began! He has been on the move ever since.

GRACE2YOU said...We lived in a small mobile home, so my daughter never crawled! Once she could pull herself up, it was just easier to hang on to the furniture and walk! Since then, I have been a daycare provider for 28 years, and I still get excited over each child's "firsts." First words, first time standing, first steps...!

Deanna Web said...When my son started crawling, he did the army crawl with his arms but only used one knee and then used his other foot to move forward. It was very bizarre.

connie said...My eldest daughter first walked at 14 months old, when we brought her sister home from the hospital. I guess she needed the motovation of a new sibling to get her in the mood to walk! Now 2 months later she is strolling around the house and leans in to sneek a peek at her sister quite often. Maybe perhaps she is checking out her competition????LOL

Roxie Harwell said...As a 1rst time grandmother, watching my 8 month old grandson Gage, take his first little rocks back and forth, brought back so many precious memories. As his caretaker during the week, I am now chasing the little bugger EVERYWHERE!!! This gate would be a godsend as we have stairs and step downs.
