9.5 mo. old still not crawling

[sweetstuffsmama]

My 9.5 month old is still not crawling. He is up on all fours now (sometimes) but still seems to prefer rolling over crawling as a means of travel. Of course, I am getting all the blame for this on a daily basis(from "concerned" family members). According to them I don't exercise him enough. His pedi seemed unconcerned since he is on target with all other milestones. However, the pedi told me ds will not be walking by his 1st birthday. Was anyone else's child slow to crawl & by what age was he/she walking?

my DS didn't start walking til he was 18 months(he is now 21 months and racing around the house). Each child has his/her own speed. Let him go at his own pace, and don't worry too much about time lines. When he's ready, he will do it. :)
