Bumshuffling to walking - how long?

[gypsy79]

My DS started bumshuffling at 12 months. He didn't pull himself up to standing or walk for ages after that, and in fact would walk holding on to our hands before he would cruise around furniture. He is now 16 months and I think I can now say that he's walking well. Only problem is he still hasn't worked out how to stand up without holding on to something, so if he falls over and can't get himself up again, he'll just bumshuffle still.

Anyway, so it took him about 4 months from the time he started bumshuffling to the time he was walking more than bumshuffling. I am really pleased, as I thought it would take a lot longer.

My 4yo sister was a bumshuffler, and didn't walk til 20 months! But when she finally did, she was running within the week
