For quite some time Baby has been content with commando crawling, as fast as she can, everywhere. Whenever you help her stand or when she is in the Jumperoo, she curls her toes under and most of the time stands on her tip toes (destined for the Royal Ballet!). This has worried me quite a lot, as I wondered if it would delay her walking. However, all of a sudden over the past week or so she has developed an interest in pulling herself up on things and standing flat footed!
She is so pleased with herself. All she wants to do now is stand and try and climb over things! This makes for a tricky time, as our house is proving difficult to Baby proof!. She hasn’t quite got enough stability to start cruising. Managing only a bit of a shuffle, but she is learning very quickly, so I don’t think it will be long. I think that she will skip ‘proper’ crawling and just get on with walking.
I am so proud of my little girl and so relieved that she is standing properly and not like a ballet dancer! She also loved her cosy padded onesie from Aunty Jennie, I wish I had one!
I am linking this post up with the following lovely bloggers and their great linky’s.

Aww well done bambi baby! 🙂 Monkey was like this, he commando crawled and then walked. He learnt to crawl properly months after he was walking 🙂 #whatsthestory

Thanks, yes I think she will do it that way round too. She gets into the crawling stance, but then goes commando! (not that commando) x

Love love love the look on their faces when they finally ‘get it’ and stand for the first time all by themselves! 🙂
Author
I know she is so chuffed! x
Aww! It seems like decades since mine were at this stage but I remember that sense of swelling pride so well!
Author
Yes it is a lovely time. I can’t wait for her to take her 1st step. Mainly because she is terrorising the dogs in her walker! x

Author

Hi, thanks for stopping by and posting on mrsdbliss.blogspot.com. Do you mind telling me why your homes been difficult to baby proof? I ask because The Darling Husband solved one of our problems which was a large open gap into the kitchen. If it’s the same thing I could send you details of how you did it. Let me know via the blog if you want them 🙂

We have lots of area’s that she isn’t allowed in & that’s where she want’s to be. Gates aren’t big enough. We have just invested in a massive fencing system! (playpen) x
How lovely, no wonder you’re proud! x
Author
Thank you x
Such a gorgeous age – she looks super cute in that onesie, no wonder you’re jealous!
Author
Thanks. Yes I am very! x
Hurray for little her! You’re right, onesies are super-cute. I’m going to keep our Gwen in them for nightwear as long as I can get away with it.
Author
She always wears them at home x
Aw well done 😀 Such a cute stage x
Author
Thanks x
It’s such a brilliant moment isn’t it – there will be no stopping her soon!
Author
That’s what I am worried about! 🙂 x
I love that age 🙂
Author
It’s so much fun, but tiring! x
My little one didn’t like crawling much either…or walking really…he pretty much started running at 10 months!! It’s great when they really start to gain their independence. The onesie is lovely…I would like one too!!!
Author
Maybe we should start a onesie club! x
Oh bless her! She is doing so so well and I love watching her grow through your blog! xx
Author
Thank you. She is developing so fast. Scary really. Bless her she was smug xx
Yay! Go Bambi… There will be no stopping her now! x
Author
That’s worrying! 🙂 x
awww what a super clever girl!! that proud little face is priceless .. no doubt as yours was too!!
thanks for linking up with #MagicMoments
Author
She said thanks! 🙂 x
Woohoo you go Bambi baby! I bet your one proud Mum right now x
Author
Very! Less proud when she chases the dogs round the living room in her walker! 🙂 x
Fantastic! My oldest and youngest both learnt to crawl after they walked 🙂 Such a wonderful moment to cherish x #WhatstheStory
Author
🙂 I think she will do that too x
Way to go Bambi Baby!!
When they learn to walk, it’s such an overwhelming feeling of pride for us, but imagine what it’s like for them! I loved watching as my son (now 15!) learned to walk, and watching my niece take steps last year was awesome! x
Author
It is so lovely! x
Great news. Way to go!
You just wait, she will be running circles around you in no time 🙂
Author
I can’t wait! 😉 x
haha enjoy this time… soon you will miss it
Gosh this seems simutaenously like it was 5 minutes ago for us and AGES ago. Make sure you take some video, this phase will be gone so quickly!
Author
Good idea, I need to do more video’s x
Yay! Congrats. My little girl just started crawling a week or so back and I am not ashamed to admit I had a little tear in my eye 🙂
Author
It’s such a lovely time. They really start to develop so quickly x
Awww well done. How old is she – Seb likes his feet but hasn’t mastered pulling himself up yet
Author
She is almost 11 months x
