Many babies tend to follow a similar routine as they prepare to stand up on their two chubby legs, although the timing of this can vary greatly from bub-to-bub. While the average age to start walking is between 12 and 13 months, there is a very broad range of 'normal'. Some babies are up and running at nine months old, while others are still contentedly moving around on all fours or cruising the furniture at 18 months.
This may be at least in part because children are relatively active (girls take an average of 10,000 to 13,000 steps, and boys take 12,000 to 16,000 steps each day). 4 In addition to walking or running, children may stomp, jump, skid, twist, scuff, kick, etc.
