My daughter turned 1 March 1st and I can't believe how many people have said she isn't walking yet?? My reply was when she is ready she will, my daughter has shown that she has an independent side and that she won't do something unless she wants to. I also have an 11 yr old son that was walking before 8 months so it came as a shock that she wasn't walking yet but parents don't rush it enjoy the time because once they start walking have fun chasing them everywhere.
