My son is 8 months old and started walking in his walker this weekend. It is so cute. He just gets mad when the wall won't let him move any further.

Both of boys started walking on their 1st birthdays, literally! Not my youngest though. My baby girl started walking at 8 months and hasn't stopped since! Every child is different but I think she's speeding up just to keep up with her brothers!
