But her first "steps" were 20 in a row and she was off from that point on. We never had a "in between" period of her taking a few steps, when she did she was off. She was scared for the longest time, even though she could do it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-2#post-1378966 Mon, 27 Jan 2014 14:17:18 +0000 travellingbee 1378966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: Ha ha. L finally figured out how to not get stuck with the walker. He pulls it back and turns it. And then keeps running along. He is so fast! But without it, he will stand and then squat down but won't get back up. Yesterday he stood up on the middle of our bed (using dad's legs to push up) and just stood there for about 10-15 seconds, legs spread like he just got off a horse LOL. Such a fun phase. So much learning!</p> <p>ETA- when I say walker, I mean push toy. We don't have a walker he sits in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-2#post-1378702 Mon, 27 Jan 2014 13:16:54 +0000 Smurfette 1378702@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travellingbee: Yes! My back too. And we have to follow her around the house with the walker cause she gets stuck and can't figure out how to turn it. She is definitely finally more comfortable just standing now and isn't as wobbly. She stands up, goes down to a squat, and then stands back up. Who knows though, she could take another month before she starts really walking. It is so exciting, I just want her to do it now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-2#post-1378686 Mon, 27 Jan 2014 13:11:29 +0000 travellingbee 1378686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: We are the same but I think R is steadier standing up. L will only stand by himself for a few seconds before he sits down. But he is into this idea of walking for sure! Yesterday we only got a couple steps out of him. So curious to know how long until he starts really walking well. I can't wait either. Kid is killing my back! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-2#post-1377467 Sun, 26 Jan 2014 20:18:35 +0000 Smurfette 1377467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: I hope R is just as fast. I am so excited for her to walk. My bday is Feb 5, I want it for my gift. Day care told me they would get on it. Haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-2#post-1377429 Sun, 26 Jan 2014 19:57:41 +0000 MamaMoose 1377429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: About 3 weeks. First steps were after she turned ten months and she was full in walking before she turned 11 months. Go R!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-2#post-1377412 Sun, 26 Jan 2014 19:48:02 +0000 Smurfette 1377412@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: How long it take LO??</p> <p>R took 4-5 steps yesterday, twice. Today she only did two and then fell. She walks great with the walker and holding onto our hands. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-2#post-1120937 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 09:13:32 +0000 sumer08 1120937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO took his 1st steps just a few days after he turned one, but at 13 months, he's still only taking a few steps at a time. He's a cautious little guy, that's for sure! He is starting to let go of things more and more on his own and this past week he's taken anywhere from 10-15 steps on his own off and on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-2#post-1120498 Sun, 29 Sep 2013 23:16:50 +0000 HLK208 1120498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>B started walking at 9.5 months (a few steps) but really got the hang of it around 10.5 months.</p> <p>E took longer, at 12 months exactly but it only took a week for her to take off! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-2#post-1120481 Sun, 29 Sep 2013 22:53:22 +0000 skibobrown 1120481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A few days -- less than a week. Our daughter didn't take her first steps until 14 months, but as soon as she took them, it was almost no time before she was walking confidently. She was clearly ready. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-2#post-1120435 Sun, 29 Sep 2013 22:14:05 +0000 winniebee 1120435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>T basically waited until he knew how to fully walk to walk. He started taking 5-6 steps at a time at 14 months and within a week was walking more than crawling and within a few weeks wasn't crawling at all. I actually preferred him walking to crawling because he was more independent and he was into everything while crawling anyways! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-2#post-1120408 Sun, 29 Sep 2013 21:42:56 +0000 MamaMoose 1120408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@googly-eyes: bag falling doesn't worry me. I'm just scared she'll get into EVERYTHING now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-2#post-1120378 Sun, 29 Sep 2013 21:18:11 +0000 Mrs. Confetti 1120378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>C took his first steps at 15 months and is still happy crawling 90% of the time at 16 months... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-2#post-1120362 Sun, 29 Sep 2013 21:04:41 +0000 mrsjyw 1120362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right there w ya! A took a few steps last wk and now I'm just praying I have a few more months!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-2#post-1120095 Sun, 29 Sep 2013 18:11:10 +0000 googly-eyes 1120095@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Why are you scared though? The falling? I haven't noticed a difference in accidents or the things she gets into since walking...just faster now! She can run on occasion. I think it fun but then again I'm not a huge "baby person." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-2#post-1120090 Sun, 29 Sep 2013 18:09:38 +0000 googly-eyes 1120090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't really count "first steps" til she could take about 5-6 so between then and now it's been about a month and she mostly walks but still wobbles when she is tired and still falls often enough. She also holds onto things sometimes. Not much crawling happening here though. Her dirt steps probably were a week or two before that? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-2#post-1120086 Sun, 29 Sep 2013 18:08:22 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1120086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tor was an early walker. Took a few steps at 9 months and a week later he was full on walking. By 10 months he was a pro. I think every baby is different but its always good to baby proof!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-2#post-1120054 Sun, 29 Sep 2013 17:27:56 +0000 chopsuey 1120054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>wow! 1 month later DD was a good walker, but she still fell a lot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-2#post-1120000 Sun, 29 Sep 2013 16:08:40 +0000 Penny Lane 1120000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>a couple of weeks for us! he took his first steps thedaybefore his first birthday, and 2 weeks later it was like he'd always been walking! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-2#post-1119990 Sun, 29 Sep 2013 16:00:02 +0000 GrapeCrush 1119990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About 2-3 days...he was just over 10 months when he took his first steps and then started going full speed ahead about 2 days later....it was awful lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-2#post-1119988 Sun, 29 Sep 2013 15:50:46 +0000 sarac 1119988@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A few days, maybe. She was a very late walker at 16 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-2#post-1119913 Sun, 29 Sep 2013 14:10:03 +0000 Smurfette 1119913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: So exciting!!!

Once he got the hang of it, he was toddling around pretty confidently within the week, and was walking pretty well by his birthday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-2#post-1119738 Sun, 29 Sep 2013 10:33:40 +0000 Running Elley 1119738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>E took his first steps at 9 months and it was about a month before he was confidently walking. I asked this question before and it seemed like the early walkers took a little longer to walk exclusively and the later walkers picked it up fast! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-2#post-1119731 Sun, 29 Sep 2013 10:18:07 +0000 autumnlove 1119731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@stargal: We had a late walker too.
