She's only 8.5 months, but has already taken some steps on her own. She likes to stand without holding onto things. So I'm just waiting for the day she is confident and takes off. I have a feeling it is right around the corner.... Are we ever really ready for these milestones? ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-not-in-a-rush-for-thier-lo-to-start-walking#post-963121 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 12:52:08 +0000 lovehoneybee 963121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wasn't ready, so he did it early, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-not-in-a-rush-for-thier-lo-to-start-walking#post-963115 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 12:50:29 +0000 Andrea 963115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I also think it will be easier when DD2 can walk, even if I have to chase her around. Hopefully she'll be pretty good, like DD1! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-not-in-a-rush-for-thier-lo-to-start-walking#post-963114 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 12:50:02 +0000 Running Elley 963114@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not really in a rush for him to start walking exclusively but gosh, he's heavy!!!! He's getting harder and harder for me to lean down and pick up (especially while pregnant) and I'm kind of looking forward to the not having to carry him everywhere aspect of walking :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-not-in-a-rush-for-thier-lo-to-start-walking#post-963109 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 12:49:11 +0000 matador84 963109@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely not ready or excited. He is killing me with his fast crawl. I'm screwed when he starts walking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-not-in-a-rush-for-thier-lo-to-start-walking#post-963106 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 12:48:44 +0000 Mrs. Bee 963106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i was in a rush for olive because she's a second child and it's easier when both are walking. she didn't walk until 18 months! not easy carrying them everywhere for so long! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-not-in-a-rush-for-thier-lo-to-start-walking#post-963104 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 12:48:35 +0000 cascademom 963104@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not in a rush, but if walking prevents all of these bumps and falls, I'm for it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-not-in-a-rush-for-thier-lo-to-start-walking#post-963072 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 12:45:25 +0000 Weagle 963072@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wasn't really in a rush for LO to start walking, but life became so much easier once she did! She's not difficult, but she's extremely active. I think walking made her feel more independent, so she started entertaining herself more easily and getting into less trouble. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-not-in-a-rush-for-thier-lo-to-start-walking#post-960885 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 19:30:28 +0000 MamaBehr 960885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wasn't ready either time. I didn't even want either of mine to start crawling.... Now DS, who is 17 months old, RUNS instead of walking and crawls on furniture, ugh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-not-in-a-rush-for-thier-lo-to-start-walking#post-960881 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 19:29:26 +0000 chopsuey 960881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not ready for DS to start walking. He's only 7 months old though :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-not-in-a-rush-for-thier-lo-to-start-walking#post-960865 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 19:24:57 +0000 immabeetoo 960865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>YES! DH is so excited and encourages it and I am so not ready!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-not-in-a-rush-for-thier-lo-to-start-walking#post-960861 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 19:23:34 +0000 stargal 960861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am so not ready for p to start walking. I'm glad he's just crawling and cruising for now BC he is in to everything,.I can't.imagine how much stuff he will.be into once he's walking! </p>
