    What age did your baby crawl/ say their first word?

    As the title says I'm interested to know at what age did your baby crawl and say their first word? I know babies all develop at different rates so it's more curiosity than anything

    DS is 8.5 months and is commando crawling but showing no signs of getting up on his knees yet. He chatters a lot and has come close to saying Dad but is still practicing that one so no official words yet

    All of mine have been different, crawling between 8 months and 11 months and talking from 9 months to 1 year.

    Ds2 is 11 months today and still no real words, he chatters a lot and follows the cats around meowing with them but thats about it lol

    Mine were saying 1 word at 6months. My first was 6months to the day. DD 1 and 2 were crawling at 8months, DD1 walking at 11months3weeks. DD2 walking at 10months and DD3 crawling at 6months and walking at 8months. My family say all 3 of my girls can talk under water with a mouth full of marbles.

    I work as a CFHN and a fairly rough guide we go from (which is only a guide) is saying 2-3 single words at 12months. Moving well at around 8-9months but does not have to be a crawl as such. Walking up to 18months. At 18months starting to put 2 words together.

    DD crawled (properly) at 7 months, same day she stood up alone for the first time. Said mum at 5 months but no 'real' words until maybe 18 months when she opened her mouth and hasn't stopped since. She walked at 10.5 months, toilet trained at 18 months and night by 2.5 years

    DS crawled at about 7.5 months and other than dad-dad-dad doesn't say a darn thing except jibber He 's 14 months. Walked at 12.5 months. Toilet training.... He certainly likes checking out where he may wee from oneday though

    DD1 started crawling around six months, I think. And TBH I have no idea when her first real word was

    DD2 just started crawling a few weeks ago, at seven months, and hasn't said anything other than bub-bub and mum-mum. Even then, she's not attaching them to objects as yet

    Ds started commando crawling (really it was dragging..) at 8 months. Hands & knees crawling by 9 mths 3 weeks. Taking a couple of steps by 10 mths 3 weeks, walking a week or so before his first birthday.

    He said dad-dad-dad at 10 mths 3 weeks, mum-mum-mum a week later. He has decided that he doesn't need to say mum now though. He 'says' banana, pear, bird etc. but really most things come out as 'bah' or 'pah'. He nods & shakes his head a lot when I ask him questions. So he understands a lot.
