I am not sure if there is a post already about this, but thought I would still ask!
When did LO start crawling? (army or traditional) My DS is a few days shy of 7 months old and it seems like all the babies we know that are around his age, some younger, are crawling already. From my childcare experience that seems early for most kids, but I can't help but wish he was starting to crawl too!

My LO is 7.5 months and not crawling. He hates being on his tummy and just started spinning on his tummy this week. He's trying super hard to bum scoot too but isn't going anywhere!
I was at a playgroup the other day and there was a 9 month old and a 10 month old and neither of them were crawling!

@creativemomma15: I know a baby who skipped crawling and just started pulling up and then eventually walking really early, so every baby has their own unique timetable

DD's cousin pretty much skipped crawling altogether and just started walking.

My DD didn't start crawling until 9 months or so, but DS has been army crawling on his belly for the last month or so, he's seven months old.

My girl started army crawling at 7 months, probably. Before that she was a champion roller. She started experimenting with true crawling at about 8 months, but didn't switch to it fully until recently, maybe 11-12 months. She's also very good at climbing. She's 13 months now, and still cruising and crawling.

@creativemomma15: "Many children go from sitting to standing to walking, never creeping or crawling. Crawling is not a necessary milestone." (Dr. Brazelton).

Wonder Baby started at 6 months but Toddler Girl didn't crawl until 11 months. I got so tired of everyone asking.

@birdieputt... Thanks for that quote. I never heard that before.
I actually have my AA in early childhood education, so I know that he doesn't need to be crawling yet. It just seems like every other baby we know his age is! (In my studies I never really heard that crawling wasn't a milestone.)
@Mrs. Superhero... I am already sick of people asking about him crawling and he is only 7 months old. There was a big baby boom at our church around when we had him so it almost seems like everyone is trying to compare who does what first! Ugh! Let my baby develop at his own rate without me feeling like he is behind when he isn't!

Charlie was 6 months army crawling. Olive started at 9 months? And she's still army crawling at one year. She loves being on her belly and doesn't even like sitting that much!
