My daughter was running at 10 mo but didn't really say much of anything until 14ish mo. She would only respond to her name when she felt like it at 10 mo, mostly because she was super busy. She's 19 mo old now and pulls together 3+ word sentences and DEFINITELY knows her name. Don't worry! He's busy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-respond-to-their-name-how-often#post-2279574 Tue, 01 Sep 2015 17:35:00 +0000 MrsMccarthy 2279574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mpstephan: hey there doll my phone is dying but I want to respond.

When I put the legs back on they both liked to pull up on it to get to the buttons that made music. Also, my DS never pulled himself up until we put up our baby jail/gate in the living room. The first time I left the kids in it while I went to the bathroom, he started screaming and pulled himself right up like it was magic. He was unstoppable after that. My kids used the little push Walker things, but they weren't greater for the initial pulling up stage because the walkers were unsteady and they would flip it over, especially if they were both trying to pull up on the same one. Eta: I forgot - Alice's first time pulling up was actually on my arm - she wanted to get to the bowl of ice cream in my hand! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-pull-up-to-stand#post-2220311 Sat, 27 Jun 2015 08:04:33 +0000 Cole 2220311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Grace: Your boogie wipes story cracked me up, I totally did the same thing when she was just learning to crawl so I could take a video for the grandparents! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-pull-up-to-stand#post-2220308 Sat, 27 Jun 2015 08:03:03 +0000 Cole 2220308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a single step between our kitchen and sunroom and we have a twin mattress set up as a floor bed in her room, those two were both the first things she "pulled up" on. The lower height really helped her develop the muscles well and we didn't have much of that awful phase where they don't know how to get down because she had practiced at a lower height. </p> <p>We also have a toy cube which is a great height and those baby play tables are great. I also saw a suggestion for issuing the outside of the exersaucer but she actually still has a hard time with that even though she can use walls to stand up. Beyond that she uses the usual suspects, coffee table, couch, dining chairs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-pull-up-to-stand#post-2220305 Sat, 27 Jun 2015 07:48:17 +0000 MenagerieMama 2220305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Her pack n play was actually one of the first places she would do it! Now it's on anything :) Also - be thankful the Zipadeezip is stopping crib pull ups. Those have turned our champ napper into a cruising zombie once she figured that out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-pull-up-to-stand#post-2220271 Sat, 27 Jun 2015 01:19:23 +0000 regberadaisy 2220271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She is trying the most on the coffee table but she even uses us when we're sitting down next to her. But we also have activity tables and the tech sit to stand walker. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-pull-up-to-stand#post-2220242 Fri, 26 Jun 2015 22:47:19 +0000 Grace 2220242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The ottoman in the living room. I tempted her with a pack of boogie wipes. She loved to crinkle the plastic and I normally didn't let her have it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-pull-up-to-stand#post-2220236 Fri, 26 Jun 2015 22:06:13 +0000 Mrs. Deer 2220236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a soft bench as out ottoman in the living room, that was her go-to! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-pull-up-to-stand#post-2220234 Fri, 26 Jun 2015 22:03:29 +0000 Peasinapod 2220234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My lo first pulled up on her change table. Then coffee tables / couches. Now she can pull up with just about anything. Even walls! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-pull-up-to-stand#post-2220230 Fri, 26 Jun 2015 21:55:55 +0000 BabyTsMom 2220230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO would pull up on anything/anyone within reach! He was non-discriminatory. haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-pull-up-to-stand#post-2220218 Fri, 26 Jun 2015 21:22:24 +0000 artsyfartsy 2220218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We actually put T in one of those large totes/storage containers. It made it really easy for him to pull up. We would just hold it steady and it was great for him to practice pulling up in and eventually cruising. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-pull-up-to-stand#post-2220215 Fri, 26 Jun 2015 21:17:27 +0000 msplatypus 2220215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was wonder what your baby first used to pull themselves up to stand. LO seems to be trying, but I don't know if we have anything in the house she can use! Her zippidee seems to keep her from trying in her crib. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-pulling-themselves-up#post-2188191 Sun, 24 May 2015 15:53:05 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 2188191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pulled up earlish, walked super late! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-pulling-themselves-up#post-2188169 Sun, 24 May 2015 14:58:15 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2188169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BandDmommy: she's figuring it out. Kind of reverse army crawling right now. Using her legs to push/scoot forward. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-pulling-themselves-up#post-2188139 Sun, 24 May 2015 13:49:43 +0000 BandDmommy 2188139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: is she crawling? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-pulling-themselves-up#post-2188053 Sun, 24 May 2015 09:41:47 +0000 stargal 2188053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>P at 9.5 months he pulled up, crawled at 10.5 (never cstrd to army crawl) and walked at 14.5 months.</p> <p>D scooted at 5 months, army crawled around 7 months and real crawled around 8 months and pulled.up around 8.5 months.

Blake pulled up much later (almost 8 months) but still started walking at 10 months. I think he didn't want to be left behind by his sister! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-pulling-themselves-up#post-2187442 Fri, 22 May 2015 18:11:23 +0000 nana87 2187442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She started pulling up around 8 months and cruising shortly after.
