how long between first steps and walking?

somethingchangd · July 2010

Oliver took his first steps today! (Well, to be fair, he took 1 step yesterday, but daddy didn't see it, so I'm not counting it.) He walked about 3-4 steps on 3 seperate occassions over the course of the day. I'm so proud of my big boy!

How long does it usually take between first steps and full on walking? Do I have days? Weeks? Does it totally vary? thanks!

Yay Ollie!

Ya know, i don't rememeber, haha, isn't that terrible? We are in the same position with A...she took 4 steps a few days ago (only one at a time since :P) and i can't remember how long at all it took for the boys!

Yay baby!!!!!!!!

For Henry it just took about 2 weeks between first steps and walking becoming his primary mode of transport. J was about the same. With Sophi it was like 2 days.. she never crawled, went from cruising to steps to full on walking inside of a week.

I think it just varies. You've probably got a little time but not much!!!

Go Ollie go!!!

YAY Ollie!!! Love the new siggy pic!

I really don't have a good answer b/c Isabel held our hands and walked for m o n t h s (from 8 1/2 -almost 14) then one day, about a week shy of 14 months she let go and took off. We did not go through the stumble phase. I think it happens pretty fast, maybe a week or two.

E took her first step on 7/5 and she's really walking now, just this weekend. So that was what, like three and a half weeks? I don't remember exactly how long it took C, but I think it was similar.

Yay Ollie!

Exciting! Cal took his 1st step a few days after his 1st bday, then took a break for about 2 weeks (no steps). Then he started "practicing" daily, and within 2 weeks after THAT he was full-on walking. So, about 1 month from start to finish.

Yay Ollie!! Hayden took his first steps on June 7th. Last weekend he learned how to go from sitting to standing on his own which turned him into a full time walker. It took about 4 weeks before he was walking about 50% of the time. It was right at 6 weeks until he was walking 100% of the time. I think I have seen him crawl once in the last few days and that was just because he was in a place he couldn't stand up.

Paige took 3 steps one day, then slowly progressed from there. I'd say it was 3.5-4 weeks before I called her a skilled walker and walking became her sole method of transportation.

Two months for us. Felt like forever. He took his first steps a few days before his birthday party, in mid-May, and didn't really take off until mid-July. But once he started to go, he was really motoring!

YAY OLLIE!!!!

I think it really varies. Ava took her first steps at 11 months, then didn't fully walk until 14 months. She *could*, but she absolutely refused to, like she was too scared. She walked everywhere on her knees, then suddenly took off running at about 14 months.
