    Ds1 was 12.5 months
    Ds2 was 18 months
    Ds3 was 13 months

    Ds1 Crawled at 8 months
    Ds2 Crawled at 6.5 months
    Ds3 Crawled at 10 months..

    Anywhere up to 18 months is ok for walking I think they recommend getting a check up if they aren't walking by 18-19 months though to make sure all is ok..

    They all get there in the end

    DS was 15.5 months.. I didn't think he would ever let go of the couch!!!! His cousin (who is 2 months younger) was walking way before him and I felt like he was really slow and that he would never catch up..
    But now he is walking..... so it will eventually happen.. try not to stress too much about it.. just think.. he's working on his brain development instead - so he'll be more intelligent... lol

    My DS was an early bird, started walking from me to DH at 8.5 months and now at 9.5 months is walking consistently. I don't think 14.5 months is a big issue, everything I have read says not to worry until 18 months and even then some kids are happy crawling. Bet he will start doing it now that you have posted about it LOL.

    My nephew was born 4 months before my daughter and she was walking several months before he started - don't quote me, but I think he was maybe 15 months?? Maybe older, because I can't remember him walking really well at her 1st birthday party, and he would have been 16 months old then.

    My DS was 13mths when he started walking and was 8-ish mths when he started to crawl. He will get there when he gets there - it isn't a problem. He is obviously quite happy to do what he is doing because it works so well for him - I have noticed that with some babies they tend to achieve their milestones when they need to kwim? So you may find that when he gets frustrated that he can't do something because he can't walk to it, he may start to put more effort into walking kwim?

    My DS is a while off walking, but my DH was 17 months. Some are happy to stay crawling for a while. It's pretty normal.
