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.
Rolling over, crawling, walking, and talking are all considered milestones. The milestones are different for each age range. There is a normal range in which a child may reach each milestone. For example, walking may begin as early as 8 months in some children. Others walk as late as 18 months and it is still considered normal. One of the reasons for well-child visits to the health care provider in the early years is to follow your child's development. Most parents also watch for different milestones.
