need some reassurance that it does vary loads and ds will start crawling forwards instead of backwards soon!

Ds is nearly 101/2 mths and still dragging himself around (doesn't really crawl yet). His sister worked at 14 mths.
Beansmum,was trying to find your holiday thread! Thought of you because the Observer's entire travel supplement last week was on single parents. I read it online-will still be there of course!

moondog! am very impressed by your dd

dd1 crawled at 7 mths backwards, forwards at 8 mths. its the funniest thing ever, but a shame when you see their face when they realise they are getting further and further away from the toy...

she walked on her first birthday!

dd2 is 6 mths and just goes on all 4's and rocks

Asked my mum when I crawled and she didn't know! shocking! She remembered that I didn't walk until after my sister was born though, and my sister is 19 months younger than me. I turned out alright so bean's got a while to go before I start worrying about him.

I will remember! Although I can't remember when he slept through the night or when he got his first tooth or when he sat up and that was only a couple of months ago!

crawling just under 6 months, walking with a push along by 8 months, walking alone at 11 months, running at 11.25 months. And hasn't stopped still since! Honestly once they start you can't stop them and you soon wich that they'd stay still again.

dd never crawled - cruising at 7mnths, walking at 10.
ds crawling at 10 mnths, walking at 13 mnths. Didn't go backwards, but I did expect him to, I've heard it is usual.
