DS2 is nearly 17 months and still crawls most of the time. He took he first steps just before he was 1 and his walking has been developing verrrry sllllllowly since then. He will walk a fair way holding my hand (with regular stops to poke things with sticks). When he does walk his right foot is turned out slightly and he drags his foot a bit. The reason I have a slight worry about this is that MIL has one leg longer than the other.

Does it sound like DS2 may have a problem? or is dragging a leg totally normal? Should I take him to see the HV?

(I was HereComeTheGirls) I am glad he is doing so well!

Ankles can improve a lot..my DD was discharged by the physio as her hypermobile ankles had strengthened up with exercise so they are hardly noticeable now, she doesn't need insoles/special boots any more.

They helped a lot while she was getting on her feet though, and maybe would help your DS too [snile]
