Kim said...My son would not walk and when he was 13 months old, we were at the store and he really wanted this big bouncy ball so we bought it. When we got home, my husband and I were playing with it and our son wanted it but we were teasing him with it. Well, we figured since he wouldn't walk, he couldn't get it. To our surprise, he got up and started walking! And all it took was a ball!

Breanne Spetnagel said...A week before my son started walking, we visited a friend whose son was just a few weeks older. He was walking and running...I think Tre was totally jealous because Kasen could stand up and didnt have to crawl around to get where he wanted to go. Since then, we cant Tre to sit still. We have a couple of gates now, but you can never have too many!!

Amy L said...My youngest daughter learned to roll, rather than crawl at about 4 months. She was so fast at rolling across the floor, that even when she did learn to crawl, she would roll instead.

wendy said...My daughter started with the army crawl. But when she figured out how to crawl she was fast and her pants would always fall off. So she was always crawling in a diaper.

Shandell said...My son rolled to get around for along time, which somehow morphed into an army crawl. Belly always dragging on the ground. It was hilarious to watch, and he got REALLY fast. He basically went from this to cruising and skipped the traditional crawl on all fours.

Shannon Humphrey said...My daughter's first steps happened when we were visiting my mom at her place of work. Her and I were both sitting on chairs a few feet apart and my little one took her first 3 steps to travel between us. She hasn't stopped moving since!

Maria said...My son's first steps were a surprise. After showing no interest in walking, he just decided to pull himself up holding onto the living room couch and basically lunged across the floor.
