Hi SammyRo,

It really doesn't matter at all if your bubba skips a bit of crawling, all babies are different, it doesn't mean anything is wrong.

There isn't any certain age either at which babies should or shouldn't walk, some babies do it much later than others. I was walking at 8 months and skipped a lot of the crawling stage whereas my brother didn't walk till 16 months.

Grandma's, MIL's, and mothers often have old-fashioned misinformed ideas, If your daughter is doing it, then it's fine, just like you said it's not as if you can stop her from developing in her own natural time.

Sounds like she is going to be a busy little bee!
