Not pulling up to stand? 9 months today

Question

Hi Paranoid Mom here Lolol thank god my husband and I think we are only having our one baby bc I'm such a worrier I don't know if I'll survive a second baby!

So my daughter turns 9 months today. Yesterday at her doctors appt everything went well. But she asked if Violet was pulling up to stand. She is not or crawling yet, just insists on rolling everywhere. The doctor checked and said just practice standing a little her legs need to strengthen she should be fine.

But I'm crazy and now can't get the Thought out of my head something is wrong! She sits up great for a long time unassisted, she jumps away in her jumper, she claps, says words. But of course I let this one thing bother me.

Please someone other than my husband and mom tell me I'm crazy and other little babes are at the same spot? Here's a pic, just because Lolol. 
Thanks for reading!

How beautiful is your little girl!! Please please don't worry. Your little sweetie is learning other things whilst other babies are standing/ crawling. For example, my little one doesn't say words. By all means he makes noises and talks a lot but he definitely isn't saying words xxx

My little guy turned 9 months on the 6th. He just started crawling about a week ago. He just starting kinda reaching up for things but hasn't tried to pull up yet. All babies are different. My first was walking by 9.5 months and got into everything. I'm glad this one is taking his time with that kind of stuff.

About 2 or 3wks ago I was worried about the same thing. But in matter of 2 days she just picked it up, both crawling and standing.  It happened so fast and at once. So definitely nothing to worry about. Just play with her and help her along the way and it will just click.

Answer

Is she standing if you hold her hands/ torso? Mine started pulling up a couple weeks ago but before that didn't care. But she was holding her weight if we balanced her. I wouldn't worry tho!

I definitely hear you on the 2nd kid! 😖

Answer

My LO just rolls everywhere. He doesn't understand that he needs to use he knees. He also doesn't say words, clap his hands, or pulls himself up. He is a premie (8 weeks early) so I have to keep telling myself he is really only 7 months, but I still worry!

Hi
My 9.5 month old is the same, he sits great for long periods, he can't crawl, he won't roll even though he can if he wants to and he is not trying to pull himself up yet. I'm encouraging all of the above each day but not gonna freak out yet. They all develop and learn at different stages ☺

Answer

Omg I'm in the same exact boat!!! My daughter is 9.5 months old and we just had her appt a couple days ago. Her dr said to practice more and assist her at the same time. I left the office so paranoid too. My daughter does fine during tummy time and uses stuff to push or kick off with her feet but doesn't stand on all fours to get in the crawling position

Answer

Don't stress mama. It sounds like your little one is just focused on other major milestones (like talking!). Each milestone takes a lot of focus and energy so we can't expect them to do all of them at the same time. 
We're one and done too. I find it's letting me enjoy all the little thing more and makes the sleepless nights easier to handle ☺️

Answer

My dd turned 9 months on the 18th. She doesn't crawl just rolls everywhere as well. She isn't pulling up to stand yet either. She was 6 weeks early so I don't know if that is the cause or if she's just going at her own pace as I hear some babies do.

Answer

My baby turned 9mos on the 13th and just started crawling two days ago. He was pulling up to stand about a month ago or so but I really don't think it means anything. He wasn't even close to crawling before this week.
