So, our little 8.5 month old has had kind of a big 24 hours (while we're grappling with food poisoning, of all times!) She crawled for the first time yesterday, after just scooting for forever, and then...in the space of like, 5 minutes, pulled herself into standing position in the crib and starting walking along in the crib while holding on to the sides. All day today while home sick with dad, she has been pulling herself into standing and taking steps. Uh...I am kind of unprepared for this to happen this early, especially since she took quite a while to master crawling - how soon do they go from assisted walking to walking unassisted? Anyone there yet? Any fellow assisted walkers?
Mainly, I am very concerned about her pulling herself up into a standing position, then falling in the crib and really smacking her head.
Re: Any walkers yet?
My LO is crawling, and he pulls himself up on his knees and "walks" a few steps along whatever he pulled up on...it's funny that he's doing it on his knees instead of feet.
My daughter has face planted a ton against the bars in the crib. We just give her cuddles, and try to remember that it's not that much of a fall.I think she's more offended than hurt, and she gets frustrated if she gets stuck that way.
She also loves walking while Mommy or Daddy hold her hands. This week, she has started walking while I hold onto only one hand. All of this to say that it will probably take a while before she is walking unassisted.

Ours took a step or two about a month back. She just started doing 5-6 feet and getting more confident. For those who have walking babies, how long did it take for them to go from small distance to flat out running around?
