i personally never crawelled but started walking at 6 months and it made me pigeon toed my bones wern't quite strong enough so it gave me slightly bowed legs, and now if i'm tired i still walk pigeoned toed. but other then that everything corrected its self and i'm normal (though some would argue hehe) i was also a very athletic child but not to smart, apparently they put it down to me developing my motor 1st everything eles went on hold. but i have to disagree.
I have a 4 year old that took her first steps at 8 months ( I tried to keep her down because of what i was told about me, if i hadn't she would have walked alot earlyer) and she is such a smart kid, that the whole motorskills being learnt first buts a back seat the the intelectuall learning has no grounding what so ever, i think it's a load of cods wallop Jess comandoed for about a week but she hated it so just stood up and walked.
Every child is different and there are no solid rules to development so i say enjoy your childs individuality and have fun telling the stories of how and when they learnt to crawl/walk/run/skip jump...
