8-month old not crawling... very very worried

[onthefly]

DS just started rolling and draggin himself a little at 8 months. Didnt' crawl til 9 months. I thought that was normal
I'm not really sure if he liked tummy time or not as I rarely remembered to do it. He seems fine though.

my DD didnt sit up til 9 months, only just started crawling 2 months ago (12 months old) and is nowhere near walking. and she certainly isnt stupid. i didnt walk til i was nearly 2 and i got a scholarship to a private girls school... stop googling

My girls loved tummy time and could lie there for ages - they didn't crawl until 9 and 10 months respectively so liking tummy time isn't an indication of early crawling. Both were also not walking until after their first birthdays (14 and 13 months) and they both have well developed language. I think kids who move later are too busy developing their other skills like talking so they tend to be better talkers - but that's just my anecdotal evidence.
