Not pulling up at 11 months

My DS is 11 months and still doesn't pull up to standing. He doesn't really try. I'm a little surprised as he was weight bearing at 3 months and loves standing and holding on (has done this for months). He doesn't cruise though, just stands and holds on- he may occasionally move one foot! Is this ok? He is a very good crawler and just kneels up to things instead.

hi, i always thought that my DD would be a late walker. she was always a really floppy baby, she couldnt hold her head up properly for ages, didnt sit alone till 8 months, never crawled, never pulled herself up. But at 11 months she started trying to walk when we were holding her up, and just after her 1st bday she was walking alone. i think if he has found his own way of doing things he will be happy to do that. as long as they walk by about 18 months you shouldnt worry,

I'm not sure that pulling up and walking follow a direct pattern.
My DS (13mths)has been pulling himself up and cruising furniture since 7mths. Showing no signs of walking yet.

My nephew, started to pull himself up at 12mths and by 13mths was toddling everywhere.
As Izzybiz says, as long at he's walking by 18mths I wouldn't worry, esp as he's weightbearing.
