19 months very wobbly/clumsy

Hi everyone,
My DD will be 19 months in a week. She started walking on her own about 3 weeks ago. In this period, she went from taking 1 or 2 steps to walking short distances so she's progressing.
My concern tho, is that she is very wobbly and clumsy.
I took her to soft play today and she was falling all the time, even while crawling.
I'm not overly concerned but just wanted to know if this is a normal stage. I read that when toddler walk late, they tend to master it faster than babies who start at 9/10 months.
My DD doesn't seem to be one of those toddlers :)

Sounds ok - lots of kids are still wobbly at this age. How is the rest of her development?

the rest of her development was a bit concerning to me but after posting on here, she seems to be on track. She communicates well, points to what she wants and to show interest, has around 15 words, can point to some pictures in a book and 3 body parts.
she can't do the shape sorter or simple puzzles and will follow only very simple commands but I'll try to relax about this until she gets closer to 2 yo

I think that sounds normal. My 19 month old has been walking for 7 months and still falls every now and then. She's only just started so still finding her balance. Always speak to your hv if you're really worried
