He was the same way with the first steps, he lacked the confidence. First steps at 11 months, walking more than crawling 12 months, walking exclusively at 12.5 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-from-first-steps-to-mostly-walking#post-1884127 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 10:50:09 +0000 Pirouette 1884127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>was wondering the same! my LO is the exact same way - she likes the security of having us right there, but doesn't actually need us there. i'm thinking it may still be a while - i think she likes the social aspect of having us there with her lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-from-first-steps-to-mostly-walking#post-1884113 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 10:45:18 +0000 Alivoo01 1884113@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A week or two? Like your LO, he would walk when he's distracted then realize he was and sit down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-from-first-steps-to-mostly-walking#post-1884095 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 10:33:19 +0000 catlady 1884095@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For us, it was maybe 2 weeks. She really, really wanted to walk though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-from-first-steps-to-mostly-walking#post-1884033 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 10:03:55 +0000 skibobrown 1884033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours was only 1 or 2 weeks. She waited until 14 months to take her first steps, but once she did it she was 100% ready to start walking everywhere. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-from-first-steps-to-mostly-walking#post-1884027 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 09:59:09 +0000 annie624 1884027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About 3-4 weeks. Although it seemed like overnight!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-from-first-steps-to-mostly-walking#post-1884020 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 09:56:03 +0000 Mamaof2 1884020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>about 2 months </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-from-first-steps-to-mostly-walking#post-1883979 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 09:29:12 +0000 Anagram 1883979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3 weeks or so, maybe longer. She started walking a few steps here and there (from the couch to the ottoman for example) right at 12 months but didn't take more steps unassisted until 13 months and just now at 14 months finally went to fully walking instead of crawling/walking both, </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-from-first-steps-to-mostly-walking#post-1883948 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 09:07:59 +0000 fairy 1883948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just a few days, she figured it out quickly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-from-first-steps-to-mostly-walking#post-1883598 Tue, 30 Sep 2014 22:14:11 +0000 dolphin 1883598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Took DD a month to go from a few steps to full on walking </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-from-first-steps-to-mostly-walking#post-1883253 Tue, 30 Sep 2014 17:18:02 +0000 Mrs squirreld 1883253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@illumina: @jetsa: yep! E does the exact same thing!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-from-first-steps-to-mostly-walking#post-1883249 Tue, 30 Sep 2014 17:12:40 +0000 Boheme 1883249@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A week for us, and then another week before he started running. He actually didn't learn how to stand still independently til AFTER he walked! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-from-first-steps-to-mostly-walking#post-1883222 Tue, 30 Sep 2014 16:43:52 +0000 MamaPhoenix 1883222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our DD is doing the exact same thing. She's been walking holding on to furniture since 9 months. She's 11 months now and just this last weekend stood up and walked about 5 steps on her own. She's not really interested in doing it over and over again. She's still crawling or walking holding on to everything though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-from-first-steps-to-mostly-walking#post-1883221 Tue, 30 Sep 2014 16:43:50 +0000 MrsStormy 1883221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is totally how it was for us to, she would only take a couple of steps while distracted. From her first steps to really walking was somewhere between 6-8 weeks... But once she started really walking, then she decided crawling was for stickers, and now it's all about walking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-from-first-steps-to-mostly-walking#post-1883216 Tue, 30 Sep 2014 16:41:23 +0000 loveisstrange 1883216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Steps right when she turned a year. Didnt want until almost 15 months. So like 2.5 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-from-first-steps-to-mostly-walking#post-1883198 Tue, 30 Sep 2014 16:24:13 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1883198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD's first steps were the day after turning 9 months. She was walking exclusively at 10.5 months. It felt like it took ages for her to get confident. Even at 11 months she'd crawl if she was in an unfamiliar place. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-from-first-steps-to-mostly-walking#post-1883196 Tue, 30 Sep 2014 16:23:15 +0000 jetsa 1883196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@illumina: exactly! As soon as he wobbles at all he's on his bottom or lately he's been going straight from standing to his knees and crawling to whatever he wanted. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-from-first-steps-to-mostly-walking#post-1883194 Tue, 30 Sep 2014 16:21:52 +0000 autumnlove 1883194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2 weeks for LO 1. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-from-first-steps-to-mostly-walking#post-1883193 Tue, 30 Sep 2014 16:20:36 +0000 illumina 1883193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jetsa: it's weird, right? She loves walking holding our hand and she doesn't use it for balance really, more like moral support! If I try and let go she just sits down, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-from-first-steps-to-mostly-walking#post-1883191 Tue, 30 Sep 2014 16:17:47 +0000 jetsa 1883191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Following because J is doing the same thing! He took his first unassisted steps over 3 weeks ago but he can get where he wants crawling so he doesn't seem to want to walk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-from-first-steps-to-mostly-walking#post-1883185 Tue, 30 Sep 2014 16:13:42 +0000 illumina 1883185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>S is 12 months and has taken multiple steps on several occasions, but only when she is super distracted...i.e holding a toy or eating.</p> <p>If she's stepping and we even mention that she's doing great or she remembers she's on her own she freaks out and sits back down!</p> <p>Anyone else's LO do this? Is it just a confidence thing? She is so happy walking when we hold her hand though and just wants to walk everywhere! </p>
