Every now and then he'll stand for just a second before he realizes I let go, and then he just lets his knees collapse. Sigh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/standing-unassisted#post-1639629 Fri, 16 May 2014 11:14:48 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1639629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD did it for the first time at seven months but didn't get good at it until eight/nine. She took her first steps at nine months but didn't walk exclusively until 10.5. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/standing-unassisted#post-1639627 Fri, 16 May 2014 11:14:17 +0000 Bookish 1639627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>G can stand unassisted for a few seconds if you let go of her, and will take both her hands off of the table when she's standing there (I don't think she realizes that she's standing on her own lol). It happened before her first steps, which occurred just last week! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/standing-unassisted#post-1639591 Fri, 16 May 2014 10:57:41 +0000 Pepper 1639591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How old was your LO when they could stand without holding on to anything? If you stood them up in the middle of a room, when would they just stand there without falling or sitting?</p> <p>Bonus question: Did they master this before or after they started taking their first steps? </p>
