  He's getting brave Reply Contact I have been trying to work with Steven. I have been standing him up making sure he is standing flat on his feet. I have been letting go and he is standing for about 3 seconds. Well today a couple of times he let go by himself and he is standing for about 6 or so seconds. He does transfer from table to couch and so on. So hopefuly soon he will be trying to take steps. Is Steven the only one left not walking?

I know what I'm in for because of Jesse. Steven is already into everything. Walking will just keep him cleaner. Even tho' I clean I hate that he is crawling on that floor.

  Re: He's getting brave Reply Contact Hey Paulette, I am one of those that do alot of reading and not much posting! I just wanted to say, that the average age that a child starts walking is 15 months.  Steven is a long way from being late!  I am sure you have noticed differences between your other kids in a variety of areas. Although, this group does seem to be a bunch of early walkers. I certainly would not be worried, let him do what he will do, he will get there in the end.  Kate
