I like to think he wanted to wait until he knew he could do it well.<br /><br />He talked very early (14-16 months... full sentences) and could recognize and say all his numbers before he could even walk. It was actually kind of freaky! He also knew and could identify the 50 states by age two... again, freaky. <br /><br />Needless to say, he's still a smart kid. He has definitely been on the slower end of the spectrum with gross motor skills but he's a great swimmer and has been walking just fine for years. ;) I don't think you have anything to worry about.Carenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01272801737748446181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-83493318786336670142009-04-23T21:24:00.000+02:002009-04-23T21:24:00.000+02:00It's been said that my first sentence was, "That's...It's been said that my first sentence was, "That's not funny."

The Lorax is quite excited about meeting you, too.<br /><br />Abbie, so cool that your daughter is walking. It is just so cute to see, isn't it?<br /><br />Kate, I have also read it *can* be a sign something is a bit off if kids walk before they crawl. And I believe the studies. But that doesn't mean that walking first is always a bad sign. Also, I don't believe that forcing a kid to crawl when they want to walk first will in any way improve neurocognitive development. That just sounds backwards to me.<br /><br />JoyJoy, I sent you an email.sea legs girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14782712411873234071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-87273154261747131342009-04-23T04:22:00.000+02:002009-04-23T04:22:00.000+02:00SLG-

Go Lorax!
My daughter took her first step...Fun! Go Lorax! <br /><br />My daughter took her first steps at age 15 mos. Didn't start *really* walking consistently until 17 mos., though. I never worried about it and was frankly glad to have her (semi-) contained a little longer! Now she's off to the races - each at their own pace of development, like you said. <br /><br />You'd know better than I, but I've also heard there are studies showing that kids who walk before they ever crawl have more trouble reading? Or start to read later? Or something like that. Not sure why that would be related, but some pediatricians around her encourage people to get their kids crawling before they walk.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06582340182176367822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-80841849957398751612009-04-22T16:05:00.000+02:002009-04-22T16:05:00.000+02:00You're completely right! 14 months is nothing to w...You're completely right! 14 months is nothing to worry about. It's as if there is something wrong when at 1 year they aren't walking on their birthday. My daughter just barely started walking last week and she's one month younger than the Bois.Abbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03709207120243840223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-53748893343266687772009-04-22T15:33:00.000+02:002009-04-22T15:33:00.000+02:00"Papa Was a Rodeo" by the Magnetic Fields!!
Also,..."Papa Was a Rodeo" by the Magnetic Fields!!<br /><br />Also, I didn't know your dad played accordian! That's awesome!<br /><br />I was a very late talker. My sister always did the talking for me! However, I somehow fixed my neighbor's VCR when I was about 6. Babies definitely all have their own timelines. I can't wait to meet your Lorax this summer!Emily Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05624523377911478915noreply@blogger.com
