Was just reading this yesterday... I think she makes some very valid points. I was just thinking that I was in such a hurry for my eldest to walk. My youngest, I don't want him to! He needs to stay a baby a bit longer please!

OMG @ that contraption! Yanno the sad thing is though some people would have purchased that....

woah! read the blog article instead

Sounds like she's almost there, anyway! Won't be long

It happens when THEY are ready no hurry. My DD2 is 14mths (just) and has taken a few steps and then won't do it for 2 days then walks a bit then crawls more etc so she's still not walking all the time yet but they get there when they are ready and then there is no stopping them!!!! such a great time watching them learn how to do it so just watch them and enjoy this time as it only happens once in their life

And while other babies are walking, those babies that aren't yet, are busy learning other stuff

That walking contraption was hilarious. Does it come in cotton wool???

Thanks guys, we have been practising the walking with one hand but i think it is probably more a case of she can get where she wants by crawling faster so why bother..

We will continue to persist and encourage her (and use blantant bribery) and i am sure she will get there soon...
