With the first birthday quickly approaching, everyone is always asking “is he is walking yet?” Maybe your baby has already mastered his baby steps. Maybe he’s still crawling. Or maybe, he’s enjoying being carted around everywhere by you.
Although the 1st birthday milestone sparks all sorts of comparisons between babies, don’t worry if yours is not running circles around the dining room table yet (in fact, consider yourself lucky if he isn’t - once he starts, you’ll be the one chasing after him!) Every baby develops at his own pace and some don’t start walking until several months after their first birthday. But we all walk eventually. . . have you heard any of your friends brag about when they started walking?
If you’re worried about a developmental delay, talk with your pediatrician. Otherwise, enjoy the last few weeks of relative calm before your baby starts trotting around on his own and getting into everything!
