[quote=Anonymous]there was a post a few weeks ago and a bunch of us seemed to be in a similar state.  DS2 is now nearly 15 months.  He's super physical - cruises, crawls like lightning, pulls up, walks well with a walker or holding fingers, etc.  Just last night, he started going from sitting to standing - will get up to a standing position from sitting (uses his hands to help him get into a downward dog position, then pushes back to stand), stand there in awe for 10-15 seconds, then fall on his butt.  He was even doing it on command - "Johnny, stand up!" and seemed very proud.  He probably did it 10 times last night and 5 this morning (3 year old DS1 was encouraging him :)

That said, he's never taken even one independent step.  Beginning to worry slightly about a delay.  My older son took steps between furniture, people etc for months before he could go from sitting to standing without help.

So I guess two questions, since I don't remember any of this well -

1) how long does it usually take to go from getting to a standing position alone to walking?
2) is it unusual for a baby to learn to go from sitting to standing independently before ever taking steps alone?[/quote]
