If I'm standing and LO is standing facing me, with his arms in the air, holding onto my hands... and I start to walk backwards, he will "walk" forwards. Taking slow and steady steps. Is this walking assisted? Or is walking assisted more like he's walking next to me while holding my hand?
Just curious! I don't know if this is an exciting milestone or just a fluke thing. 
When did your LO start walking with assistance?

Probably 8/9 months or so.... I don't remember exactly. She was full on walking a week before 11 months.

I would call that walking assisted! Basically when they are doing the other one (walking while holding your hand) they are really just walking...they just don't realize they can do it without you! The LO I nanny was in that stage from 11.5 months to 13.5 months. And when he started walking alone he moved right on to running because he was already proficient and well balanced before he took off.

@Fronkinzankinsbride: That makes sense! Either way, I better finish baby proofing

I would call that assisted. We walked assisted from 8-14 months. He just started walking on his own 2 weeks ago!

Sounds like assisted walking! We're still waiting on that over here.

I would say that's walking assisted. LO just started last night. She turned 1 today.

Definitely assisted walking! The 11 (almost 12) month old I nanny is in this stage - all she wants to do is walk, walk, walk!

LO started that at 7 months, and loves it, though he's totally not interested in crawling!
