crawling, standing (holding onto to something and by themselves), and walking?

Just curious.. I would like to see where my 6 month old is in comparision to other babies. I KNOW all babies reach things at different times, I am just curious. He is currently crawling and standing holding onto something.

What can I do next?

Not exactly sure off the top of my head when she started standing while holding on to something. I am thinking around 6 to 8 months old.

she started crawling at 10 months and walking started at 13 months but she stoped walking and started walking on her knees for two months and started walking again on her feet at 15 months.

My son was crawling and standing the week he turned six months. He started cruising right away. He was walking/running by the time he was 8 months. He mastered walking in about 3 days and was literally running days later. It was nuts! My whole family insisted my son would learn to walk only if he did not wear hard sole shoes and was in soft sole shoes or bare foot. Well he was having a hard time walking on his own so I gave in and bought him hard sole shoes one day to wear at the park. He started walking the moment I put the shoes on him. Honestly I was very unprepared for the next week after he got those shoes!

My son, now 4yo, was crawling at 8.5 months and very soon after (before 9 months) started pulling up, cruising and taking steps. Between 9 months and 12 months, he was walking 25% of the time, to 50% of the time, to finally a week before his birthday, walking 100% of the time. It was a gradual thing for him- he likes to perfect things first, apparently.

Both mine crawled at 5 1/2 month, stand holding on to something around 7 months and walked by 10 months. Sounds like your little one is going to be an early walker.

Mine was sitting up around 6 months, crawling and crusing at exactly 7 months. By the end of 9 months he was running. Yikes. Sounds like you may be in for an early walker! Mine walked, etc early but then was late to talk. I think they focus on one skill set at a time. My sons' cousins talked early and then didn't crawl until after a year (which is still considered normal btw). It's funny how differently they develop.

Oh and regarding shoes -- bare feet/socks and robeez are the best. Avoid hard soles until they really know what they're doing.

Honestly, they seemed exciting at the time, but you forget it pretty quickly. I have absolutely no idea, nor do I really care. While it may seem nice to be able to compare now, it won't make a lick of difference in 6 months time, let alone 2 years or more. :) Don't obsess over that stuff.

Both of my eldest two girls were crawling at 7 months & walking at ten. I don't remember exactly when they were pulling up & cruising, but it had to have been between 7 and ten, I should think.

My five month old has begun getting onto her knees & rocking but isn't crawling yet.
