She also didn't crawl much. Turns out she had very small feet proportionally and once they were bigger she was fine. She did start talking earlier but was mostly content to sit in one spot playing by herself. Now she's seven and perfectly healthy, normal, and happy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-your-late-walker-stories#post-332452 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 18:58:09 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 332452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO was also a little late ... 13.5 months. But I hear you on the talking! Still not a lot from our LO. Pedi is not concerned but I am a bit :-/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-your-late-walker-stories#post-332260 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 16:28:10 +0000 hilsy85 332260@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My niece didn't walk (really walk, on her own) until she was almost 17 months! I think she's just a cautious kid, and even though she was capable, she didn't feel entirely comfortable doing it on her own. But she was pretty verbal early on...and now she's not delayed at all in motor skills (at almost 5yrs old). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-your-late-walker-stories#post-332223 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 16:04:23 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 332223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lala was a 13 month walker. She was pretty timid with walking on our hardwood floors. Once I figured that out and put a futon mattress on the floor, she started walking :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-your-late-walker-stories#post-332215 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 16:01:59 +0000 sarac 332215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine is a talker, not a walker, at 13 months. What you're describing sounds really on track with typical milestones, to me. Near walking at 14 months. The normal for all these physical milestones gets really stretched out at this age, so we see all these babies walking at 11 months and think, hey, what's wrong with mine. But almost-walking at 14 months is really, really normal. Not late at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-your-late-walker-stories#post-331626 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 12:03:35 +0000 heffalump 331626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaBehr: that's what everyone says, they either talk or walk. My lo does neither, lol! I worry about her not talking too.... but thats a whole different story. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-your-late-walker-stories#post-331266 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 08:37:49 +0000 MamaBehr 331266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think my DD was probably about that age when she started to really walk. She was just very cautious when it came to taking physical risks. She was a late crawler, too! Once she was off though, she was off! Is your LO talking a lot instead? That's what mine did. She was developing way ahead of schedule in other things, so I feel like she forgot to walk, hahahaha. Besides, she had "Limo Mama" so why would she walk? She was taken every where hahahha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-your-late-walker-stories#post-331172 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 07:54:21 +0000 heffalump 331172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is 14 1/2 months and still isn't walking. She loves to "practice" walking, but she doesn't seem interested in doing it on her own. It kind of seems like she's never going to walk. Any other late walkers out there? Let me know there's hope that my LO will eventually walk please! </p> [attach=1561/12/mbmmim.600x496.Day-288.jpg]
