Crawling and Walking

When did your child start crawling? What about walking? Also what did you do to help them learn? Thanks!

Re: Crawling and Walking

DS starting crawling pretty early. He started to do the "army" crawl around 4 1/2-5 months where he would push and pull himself with his arms and legs. He started really crawling a few weeks ago, I think the same week he turned 6 months. He is going to be 7 months next week and he already pushes and pulls himself up to stand in his crib and on the side of the couch. So I think he may be an early walker as well.

I dont know if there was anything I did to help him. I put him on his tummy alot for tummy time and he kind of started to move on his own. I think also another reason is b/c he is strong. I put him in the jumperoo very early and also have a walker for him that he has been using for months. Every since he was a couple months old he liked trying to stand on my lap. So I encouraged him to do it when he wanted.

Thank you. My son LOVES to stand on our legs. Wejust took the jumperoo down and he has been in the exersacer for awhile. I have to focus on more tummy time!
