My little baby is almost 12 months old and wasn't wanted to walk. Just crawl really fast throuth the house. You cant stop him,he loves to crawl all over the place. So yesterday me and my mom was watching him crawl and then he pulled him self up to the coffee table and was playing with a toy. Then my mom phone rang and it caught his attach en. He took 4 steps to her and then fall to his butt. We where so excited he started clapping and saying good boy good boy. He did it a few other times and then got tired and just when on crawl throuth the house. Today, we got him walking again with some of his favorite toys. I'm hoping he will start walking more each day. His birthday is august 14th and I'm hoping that he will be walking a lot then.

That is so exciting, first steps. I got to experience that in May of this year. When my son turned 1. I never had to fight the crawling battle. My son walked his way around furniture and toys. He hated his tummy. I could barley get him to lay on his belly for the recommend tummy time that was stated in my new mother book. I was scared that his neck wouldn't get strong. He is fine and now walking every where. Almost on the run. It is funny about the phone. My sons all time favorite toys are phones and the t.v remotes. He even seems to know when they are toys and when they are real. We have and old cell phone and remote with no batteries that are his favorite toys.

Those first few steps are so exciting! I remember my daughter at eleven months had no interest in walking. One day I bought her this toy with wheels that she could stand behind and push. Soon, she was walking. I don't think the age of walking is a big deal. I think mom's think it's a big deal. Besides it's a whole new ball game when they start to walk. You have to step twice as fast to keep up with them as they explore the house. I took all the things I worried that might be broken and put them away. It was much easier for me and my toddlers. Don't worry, they walk when they are ready. It doesn't matter how old they are.

Hello anawar, Thanks for the comment. I know kids will walk when they want. He will when he is ready to and I will wait for him. It was so cute he took his first few steps to get the phone. He loves cell phones.

aw our babies are close! my baby just turned 1 on monday! He's trying to walk too. He can almost cross the room if he wants to. He has to stop once or twice to regain his balance but then he'll keep walking. I can't wait till he gets steadier. His sisters both walked around 13 months. It is just the neatest thing to see them take those shaky steps isn't it? Happy Birthday to your son a little early!

My little one just turned one also and he started walking consistently maybe a week before his birthday. We were so anxious because our first son started walking at 10 months. Hang in there, he'll get it...and when he does he wont want to sit down. :)
