That is rather early, but not unheard of. I know of a little one that walked at 7 months! I was walking by 9 months when I was a baby.
How young was your babe when they took their first step?
I'm just curious because so many people are telling me that Katelynn is some sort of freak of nature. She took her first unassisted step 4 days after she turned 8 months. She started full on walking at 8 months 3 weeks. And by 9 1/2 months she was walking/running like a pro. Is it really that unusual to be walking that early? Is my daughter really a freak?

My dd took her first step or two at 11.5 months, and is approaching the whole walking thing very cautiously. She stands up without holding onto anything really well. I am kinda hoping that she will be walking a little more by next week when we go to visit my mom for her birthday.
I was walking at 10.5 months..we don't know about my DH because his parents are long since passed away

My dd took her first steps walking around things at around 8.5 months but didnt start to walk until 10months then fell and broke her arm and stopped walking till 12months. My ds was 10months before he even attempted to walk holding onto stuff and didnt walk by hisself until 14mo. Interesting thing I found tho was that my dd never really crawled she would crawl just far enought to get to something to pull up on. My ds on the other hand was crawling at 10months. He got into plenty tho just crawling

It IS early, but not unheard of. My youngest started walking at 8 months. My other children started walking at 10-11 months old.
Just a general trend I've noticed, my kids tend to be rather advanced when it comes to reaching gross motor developmental milestones, but seem to be a little behind the curve when it comes to speech development. But it all evens out once they get older

My son Dylan started walking at 6 months old, by eight months old his was running, and at 9 months old I literally caught him swinging from a light fixture. He hasn't stopped since.
My other children two children walked at 14 months and nearly 19 months.
