Did anyone's kids take a long time to stop crawling?

Yes! He was much quicker with crawling. I want to say he did it off and on for a few months after he started walking.

Ds2 is doing the same thing!

DD is finally using walking as her primary mode of transport. It took her about a month of walking. It is so much better!

DD did that. She waited about a month after first steps and then went straight to running.

DS2 did the same thing, because crawling was so much faster and he was trying to keep up with DS1. It was probably about 2 months from first steps to walking 90% of the time.

DD still crawled sometimes for a couple weeks, maybe a mknth? after walking.

E did that. She's super cautious by nature and I think walking just made her nervous.

DD2 was taking steps and able to cross a room at 10m but wasn't a full 100% walker until almost 13m. It seems like it could go either way.

Yes. DD learned to crawl at 10 months and didn't learn to walk until 16 months. So....6 months. However, she had no use for traditional learning. She never did those cute little wobbly first steps where you walk a few steps and fall. She just waited (and waited) and then walked across the room perfectly one day. The next day she was running.

DD took ~3 months between her first steps and switching to walking full time. She was fully capable of walking, but she would crawl at least 90% of the time. Then one day (while visiting family that I had told DD doesn't really walk yet, of course) she just stopped crawling completely and ran everywhere. Once she decided to make the switch, it wasn't a slow transition with a little more walking each day; it was like a switch flipped and crawling was just completely shut off.

Yup - L took first steps, but then would go back to crawling because it was faster. She did that for maybe 2-3 months. And then she started running. So be prepared for that, lol.
