Ready, Steady… Walk
Ready, Steady… Walk
By now your little one is likely to have started to get the hang of crawling, and is probably well on their way to cruising. Cruising is their way of walking or moving sideways while holding on to furniture for support. Most babies are able to master the skill of crawling between 7-10 months of age. And while every baby is unique and develops at their own pace, many babies take their first step right around their first birthday.
It’s amazing to think they have come so far so quickly and figured out how to get from the floor to standing to walking. There is so much fun for you to have as you are active together every day and your little one learns more and more about movement and balance. See how these parents might share the excitement of their baby’s milestone moments…
