It's not considered "late" yet!

You might have a bub like my DS. He was cruising for ages (like, from 9 months!) but the first day he took an independent step without holding onto anything was the same day he started walking.

He was crawling one day and walking the next with no transitional period like I have seen with so many other babies...no 3 or 4 steps between a table and chair, maybe ten toddling steps before falling down, or toddling until they get impatient because they can crawl faster, so they drop down and crawl the rest of the way to their destination. None of that for him.

Seriously, one day he walked and that was that (at a week off 15 months). For about 3 days afterward he would sometimes start to crawl and then pause...you could almost see the thought process written all over his face..."hang on, I can walk now" and up he would get and walk. And he was great on his feet from the get go, hardly ever fell over.

Some kids just do it differently!
