Mods, please move this if necessary, I can't decide if it belongs here or in Toddlers...
In fact that is why I am posting!
dd walked at just under 8 months. She is big for her age and at 10 mo she is now dancing - she's a delightful person. But I get rather confused about how to handle her: is she a baby, or a toddler? I don't want to rush her out of her babyhood, but she begins to exhibit some toddler talents, and at times, I just don't know what to think.
I would love to hear from parents of other early walkers: did it influence them a lot, your approach to them, etc?
I should add that she is youngest of 3 and the others walked at a year or thenabouts.
