K is already tugging away from me! Darn kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-from-lunging-steps-to-walking#post-2372453 Sun, 29 Nov 2015 21:39:01 +0000 KayKay 2372453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For both of mine it was about 2ish weeks from taking 2-3+ steps before lunging/falling to full-on walking (or trying!) more than half the time. It's so funny to watch the progression and literally see them get stronger/better everyday! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-from-lunging-steps-to-walking#post-2372400 Sun, 29 Nov 2015 20:25:59 +0000 Miss Ariel 2372400@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: it's hard in a way since there's never been one really big moment instead it's been much more gradual. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-from-lunging-steps-to-walking#post-2372395 Sun, 29 Nov 2015 20:18:12 +0000 FaithFertility 2372395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are right there with you, she is a VERY cautious walker...lol always wants to hold my hand...lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-from-lunging-steps-to-walking#post-2372388 Sun, 29 Nov 2015 20:11:42 +0000 winniebee 2372388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Miss Ariel: I definitely am counting as "first steps" - he did it deliberately for the first time a few weeks ago too but I won't call him walking until he's more steady and more than a few steps! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-from-lunging-steps-to-walking#post-2372385 Sun, 29 Nov 2015 20:09:00 +0000 Miss Ariel 2372385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>K has been doing the lunging steps for about two weeks now. I haven't written it down in her baby book yet though since I don't feel like it actually counts yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-from-lunging-steps-to-walking#post-2372376 Sun, 29 Nov 2015 20:06:07 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2372376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>C took her first (clumsy) steps at 7.5 months and was exclusively walking at 9. L did the same clumsy steps for about a month and a half before walking full time at 10.5 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-from-lunging-steps-to-walking#post-2372373 Sun, 29 Nov 2015 20:04:32 +0000 pastemoo 2372373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Huh! I totally called that walking. :)<br /> In other words, I never noticed when it was more steady/ more steps in terms of remembering it as a milestone </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-from-lunging-steps-to-walking#post-2372351 Sun, 29 Nov 2015 19:54:46 +0000 winniebee 2372351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>R has been letting go of furniture and taking some lunging steps towards us for maybe 5 days, standing a little on his own too (before he realizes he's doing it!) and seems very excited by it! I'm wondering how long it will be before he's actually walking. He'll be 1 in a little over a week.</p> <p>Our first son never took steps. He waited until he could fully walk, and just started walking at 14 months. It was bizarre! </p>
