Just a few weeks ago, Rissa started crawling forward. Now, this little girl can zoom around the living room like nobody’s business! She’s fast! Plus she’s pulling herself up on anything a few inches off the ground – mostly the couch – but anything she can use to stand she will!
Once she’s up, she cruises along the couches. She’ll lean against objects so she can clap or hold a toy. She does get brave and let go a bit. I think her first steps may come any day now. My parents tell me that I didn’t crawl much and started walking at about 9 months…. She just turned 9 months…
And to think it felt like she was crawling backwards for a long time but it was a little blip of time in this first year.
When did you and/or your baby start walking?

My son will turn 9 months in one week, and he is also doing everything that Rissa is doing...crawling...everywhere! Pulling up, cruising along the couch...we don't think it will be much longer before he starts walking either! :) It is so exciting. My daughter started walking around 12 months...she was walking at her first birthday party.

One of my daughters started walking at about 11 months.. the other one was walking at just over 9 months.. she never crawled, she would jump around/scoot on her butt.. but not crawl. She had one of the walkers, I think they learn to walk much faster with those. We just had a new GrandBaby.. A Boy! He will be up and learning how to get around in no time.. We have a set of twins due in Sept, both girls or so it's said that they are girls. These two girls when they get here will make me a GrandMother of 15! The baby years go by fast..

Wow she is getting so BIG! My sister walked when she was 9 months and I walked when I was 10. My mom always says she was trying to run after me to keep up. I have a friend who says she walked when she was 8 months old. It's not out of the question! Time does fly so fast.

I was just thinking about all the things she's learned in the past 3 months. It's so crazy what babies accomplish in one year!

My 7 month old has just started sitting on his hands and knees and rocking. I'm sure within the next week or two he will be crawling.

It will be soon! Rissa started going forward shortly after the rocking (which was around the 8 month mark). It's so fun watching their progress! :)
