She actually started 2 months ago but then lost interest and started sitting up instead. Now she's back to crawling and can scale the room pretty quickly. Today she crawled across the rug to get to me when I held my arms out to her - heart melt :heart: . She's seven-and-a-half months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-for-your-lo-to-master-crawling#post-883463 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 14:43:29 +0000 immabeetoo 883463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I posted the same thing a while back, it took LO a good 3 weeks to go from rocking on all fours to crawling (army) with intent, but he started young (6 months). Now at just barely 7 months he army crawls fast and does "real crawling" here and there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-for-your-lo-to-master-crawling#post-883454 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 14:39:03 +0000 sumer08 883454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO started army crawling at around 7.5 months and got up on all 4's for "regular" hand + knee crawling just a few days after he turned 8 months. Took him just a few weeks to get really good and really FAST! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-for-your-lo-to-master-crawling#post-871897 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 16:05:55 +0000 wheres_c 871897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: Benji is the exact same way....on all 4s, wanting a to, but can't quite get moving. Then he cries! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-for-your-lo-to-master-crawling#post-871795 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 15:43:19 +0000 prettylizy 871795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think E was 9ish months whe she started to crawl. She's not at all interested in walking now though. Sigh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-for-your-lo-to-master-crawling#post-871776 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 15:39:06 +0000 sorrycharlie 871776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TurtleDoves: yes it seems to be moving quick already! although she just burst into tears because she was on all 4s, and wanted a toy..and also wanted to be up on all 4s but couldn't figure out how to do both. lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-for-your-lo-to-master-crawling#post-871773 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 15:38:57 +0000 Beehive 871773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right away (went from no crawling - just rocking on his knees - to full-on crawling in a day). He was 7.5 months old. Still haven't baby-proofed, so we're watching him even more like a hawk, though we did just get foam tiles for him to crawl on - the activity gym won't contain him anymore! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-for-your-lo-to-master-crawling#post-871762 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 15:37:30 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 871762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: so relieved to hear this. E is 8+m old and he has zero interest in pullin up and is a failure at crawling. He loves to sit, if I set it up for him.<br /> It sounds like once they start, it goes from 0-100% pretty rapidly! *fx* </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-for-your-lo-to-master-crawling#post-871659 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 15:16:27 +0000 LuLu Mom 871659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are at almost 9 months old (on July 1st) and she's arming crawling everywhere. She rocks on all fours, but she realizes she can get places faster with what she's mastered. It's only a matter of time before she pulls herself up (she will crawl up your leg now!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-for-your-lo-to-master-crawling#post-871606 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 15:10:14 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 871606@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: F hasn't figured out the forward motion part of crawling yet, but HURRAY for your girl!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-for-your-lo-to-master-crawling#post-871548 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 15:03:38 +0000 cascademom 871548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In the past couple of weeks, LO has been army crawling all over the place, so 9.5 months old. He's not sure of the on the knees crawling yet. He usually ends up going from all fours to sitting properly. According to my mom, who used to give Denver tests to babies, said that the fours to sitting is a developmental milestone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-for-your-lo-to-master-crawling#post-871528 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 15:00:53 +0000 googly-eyes 871528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: It was a week or so between when she could crawl and when she was pretty fast at it..but she was already mobile before that by scooting which she did quickly..so we were already working on babyproofing what we could!</p> <p>eta- That was a couple weeks ago, and she cut her first tooth yesterday and pulled up all the way for the first time this morning. So it could all be coming at once (mobility)! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-for-your-lo-to-master-crawling#post-871527 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 15:00:48 +0000 sorrycharlie 871527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@highwire: 9 months next week (sad face). She's been sitting (if I put her there) since 5 months, but totally content to just sit..lol. she never cared to pull up, move, anything. so I'm totally thrown off by this!</p> <p>@mrskc: oh gosh. I am going to have to step up my game vacuuming the dog hair..ahh! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-for-your-lo-to-master-crawling#post-871517 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 14:59:46 +0000 matador84 871517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He just started (9.5 months) but is making it so hard. He sticks his elbows out and then pulls himself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-for-your-lo-to-master-crawling#post-871516 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 14:59:41 +0000 pelikila 871516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>C went from not even trying to crawling across a room. He has never been a practicing type of child, more of a wait until I KNOW I can do it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-for-your-lo-to-master-crawling#post-871506 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 14:58:33 +0000 DillonLion 871506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Listening in! LO is on the cusp of crawling any second now! How old is yours? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-for-your-lo-to-master-crawling#post-871505 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 14:58:28 +0000 mrskc 871505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In a matter of a day or two. Just one day he was kind of scooting and the next he was all over the house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-for-your-lo-to-master-crawling#post-871499 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 14:57:10 +0000 sorrycharlie 871499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>AHH!! O crawled 1-2 "steps" (?) today!!!</p> <p>The past couple weeks she's been rocking, but the last few days she's really been strongly/easily getting onto all 4s....just could NOT figure out how to move, except to faceplant on her stomach.</p> <p>Today, she wanted a toy my nanny LO had, and took a few..crawls!? </p> <p>Now I'm thinking I need to babyproof, asap. </p>
