How old was your baby?

How old was your baby when he/she started crawling?  

Just wondering, cause Cole has been getting up on his hands and knees and rocking back and forth, and he does it with so much power that his knees come forward.  and my sister said when my niece started doing it that she started crawling like 2 weeks later.,

Cole is almost 7 months old on the 11th of Decemeber.  And he still hasnt even started sitting up by himself. I mean he does it for a minute or so.. I just have a feeling that hes gonna start crawling before he sits up lol

1st was 6 months on the day
2nd was 6-7 months same as #3
and Henry has been sitting for a couple weeks but still will fall some and is army crawling since three days ago, He might of been doing it sooner as he has gotten places fast that I did not see;)

He climbed out of the Bumbo today!! RIght at my feet when I was getting ready. I looked down he was sitting there, then grabed my hair clip and looked down and he was facing the back on his knees and then turned around and reached for the floor to get out right in front of my eyes!! I reached down to make sure he did not smack his face but it scared me to death!!!

They say boys are slower though, but not sure about that one, I think the average age is 6-8 months

my son started crawling about 8 1/2 months and walked at 9 months....i have no clue with emilee because of her being born 8 weeks early

i offer her tummy time but she doesnt like it too much....she doesnt roll over yet but im not sure which milestones she should be at

i just started propping her up in her boppy and she holds her balance for a few seconds...im hoping the exersaucer helps her build her muslces

lleyton didn't crawl till 9 months but he was fat. and ariana isn't even getting on her hands and knees. probably cause i never give her tummy time cause im trying not to encourage crawling too much lol. and then another baby i know olivia was 7/8 months.

My daughter didn't crawl until she was about 8 1/2 months. She started sitting up at 6 months. She never ended up even crawling right. She never put her knees on the ground, she crawled around like a gorilla, lol. Silly, but cute.

Braeden is about 7 1/2 months now, and he's been up on his hands and knees for about 2 weeks now. Lots of rocking, and he can move backwards like a champ! He'll go about 2 "steps" forward, but then gets frustrated that he can't move more and goes down on his belly and kicks.  I'm thinking the full on crawling will be any time now!  And he's pulled himself up 4 times now!

i was scared to put my daughter on the floor because i thought she would slam her face on the floor so she didnt walk till she was a year and 3 months and didnt crawl till a year and 4 months

My youngest who is now 9 months started when she was 4.5 months and is now walking starting about a week ago. My other daughter was the same, walking at 9 months. My son started crawling at 8 and walking when he was 14 months.
My young one is crazy advanced with everything, she is the size of an 18th month and is saying alot of words etc, likely due to being an overdue baby perhaps?

My brother started crawling at 6montgs and started sitting. At 4/5moths he is now 9months and walks along furniture

Aspen started crawling at 10 months. She didnt even walk until closer to 15 months.

Jeremiah started crawling really well around 8 months and started walking around holding onto things by 9 months and walking by 11 months. I thought he was a late crawler, but it sounds like he was right on time.

Kahlan was 7-8 months...she did a commando crawl at 7 and by 8 she was a pro. She started pulling up and walking shortly after (prolly about 9-10 months) but she didn't take her first independent steps until about her first birthday...girls are generally slower than boys physically though so I was kinda surprised that she was so quick to master crawling.

He may start soon or he may take awhile...Grey will lie on his belly and lift up on his knees and elbows and rock but I KNOW his wobbly butt isn't going to crawl any time soon, LOL...he's still having trouble with his head if he sits up for too long...boys are just so precocious....just be glad you don't have a girl though, they start talking early and never shut up :-/ ;-)

Jaxson was 7 1/2 months when he started crawling, and was walking @ 10 months.. Trust me, it's much easier when they don't move around! =D

Elijah always did stuff early compared to what the baby books/internet stuff said. He was crawling at about five months, but it was a low crawl kind of...he didn't crawl on his hands and knees til about 7-8 months.

Gil started really crawling full on when he was 9 months old, Daniel was about the same age.  I found that with them, it took them a long time to move from the moving backwards instead of forwards phase.
