When people see how our 14 month old daughter, Layah, gets around, they are usually quite amazed. Frequent comments we hear include the following:
- “Um…when did she start walking?”
- “Do you know your little one can RUN???”
- “You must have your hands full with that little firecracker!”
- “Look at her go!!!”
You see, Layah started rolling over at 2 months; crawling at 5 months; walking at 9 months; running at 11 months. Yes, indeed. We certainly DO have our hands full! She’s a little free spirit, and she’s in a terrible hurry to have new adventures and to engage in all manner of wild rumpus and mischief.
And that’s why we need diapers that can move and groove right along with our little wild child! This summer Layah has been wearing those fabulous Huggies Little Swimmers diapers that we recently tried for the first time. We liked them so much that I thought we should also try out the Huggies Slip On diapers. They are similar in some ways to the Little Swimmers in that they have those great stretch sides, and that they are easy to take on and off (like a pair of shorts). Layah likes to do anything and everything like her big sister, so stepping into a diaper is a BIG DEAL to her! 🙂 Of course, there are tabs so you can change this diaper in a more “traditional” way (very key for certain diaper changes…no need to elaborate on that one!).
Over the weekend we went to the Tennessee Aquarium. Sure, we wanted to see all the fish. But even more than that, we wanted to play in the water features around the park! While Tim was getting our oldest ready for our outing, I was in charge of getting Layah dressed. Here she is avoiding my request to come to me. “What’s that mom? Did you say, ‘climb the stairs as fast as I can?’ No problem!”
Once I caught up to her and chased her around her room a few times (not for fun, but because I really couldn’t catch her!), we got ready to go play in the water. While the Slip-On “cousin” (the Little Swimmers diaper) was having all the fun in the water, her Huggies waited patiently in the diaper bag for their turn to shine.
After all the fun in the water, Layah was ready to eat. She was also ready to get out of her swimsuit. Since we were having an outdoor picnic before going into the Aquarium, we didn’t have a nice, soft spot for changing her diaper. Not a problem, since she could just slip right into her Huggies! With a fresh diaper and some yummy food, little Layah was on cloud nine!
We spent the next hour or so inside, looking at the amazing freshwater creatures on display. Layah was constantly on the move, climbing in and out of her stroller, and running around looking at the various tanks. I was never worried that we might have an accident, as the leak protection on the Huggies Slip-On diapers is just excellent, even with all that moving around!
Have you had a chance to try the Huggies Slip On Diapers, yet? We have found them to be a perfect fit in so many ways for our little on-the-go toddler. Right now you can even save $2 off the diapers with this coupon!

When my son started crawling he would crawl military style, on his knees and elbows.
My favorite story about my daughter starting to walk is that my hubby had always said she’d walk before her first birthday. He never gave up on that… so it’s one day before her birthday and sure enough, she took her first steps trying to get to him as he was leaving for work. 🙂

My two older girls started walking around their first birthdays. My youngest was walking at 10 months.
My little girl started walking at 9 mos at Xmas. And she’s been running ever since
My son pretty much skipped the crawling stage and went to walking. He was an early walker and I tried to make him crawl but he wouldn’t have it.
My daughter started crawling at 7 months and now at nine months she is cruising and walking with a push toy. Looks like she’ll be my earliest walker and be walking on her own within the month!
My sons birthday is 5 days after mine. He started walking on my birthday just before his 1st birthday. Best birthday gift ever(:
My son does a low crawl, he doesn’t like getting on his knees. So he uses one arm to pull himself along the floor with his legs dragging behind him.
I remember when my 4 year old started walking because it was on Halloween when she was almost 10 months old, and had only been crawling for a month! It was crazy.
My son has just now started crawling and pulling himself up on the furniture.

When my grandson first realized he could get around, he scooted on his butt. Backwards.
I’m pregnant so this little one hasn’t started crawling yet! But would love to win to buy some diapers!
My daughter started walking late she was almost 2.
My youngest started walking at 10 months.
Both my kids started walking right after their first birthdays!
My one son didn’t even crawl until he was one and didn’t walk until 17 months. My other three all walked at around 13-14 months. Everyone had something to say about him not walking, but I wasn’t worried. He liked being carried and was 8 years younger than my youngest before him so he was carried a lot.
My sweet little boy is a cookie monster!
my son started walking 2 weeks before he turned 1.
My son would use only his leg strength and push himself up to standing at around 5 months. Then he’d just stand there. It was cool and kinda freaky at the same time! 🙂
My daughter started walking at 12 mo. She just turned 2 and wants to do high kicks and dance constantly!
My son is starting to pull himself up and he gets so excited when he makes it from one end of the couch to the other.
my niece skipped the walking and went straight to running!
My son walked at nine months and never stopped running!

My daughter just started walking a couple weeks ago, now I really need huggies slip on diapers cause she does not want to lay down for diaper changes anymore.
My youngest son started walking earlier than my older, maybe 13 months
i want to win for a friend in great neet
My girls are older, we are trying for another baby now, I know I will have lots of cute baby stories then!
Both of mine were walking before a year, so I know all about chasing down young toddlers! We also tried the slip-ons and they were just coming out. So there were lots of coupons then and used them instead of pull-ups when potty training was near.
My little one is starting to pull herself up and cruise around! No crawling yet since she thinks being on her tummy is the most horrible punishment EVER. And we visited the aquarium two weekends ago and totally hogged that mommy nursing area while older sister and Daddy played outside in the water–the water steps were closed, which was a bummer, but we still had fun.
my little guy hasn’t quite started crawling, but he moves around a lot and can push himself backwards
my adorable niece started walking at 8 months. now at age 2, she wants to drive the car.

I had one walk around 10 months old and one at around 13 months old.
My nine month old is just taking his first few steps…very cautiously!
crawling at a year
Not crawling as of yet but she has just learned how to use her voice. She keeps herself so entertained by listening to her own babble. Soooo cute.
My great-niece is so funny. They have two pit bulls at her house and when she pushes her toys toward them they run.
MIne all started walking around 15 mos
My son just started walking. He is so cute, but getting into so much.
My nephew was just crawling and scooting around, occasionally pulling up on the coffee table. One day, his mom saw something out of the corner of her eye and it was him, walking around like he had been doing it forever and he hasn’t stopped.
jake started crawling at 8 months old
my niece started crawling before a year-she loved it
My son has always been active! I love the noises he makes when he is playing with cars.
My 9 mo old daughter is crawling and cruisin’ everywhere… Soooo scary for mommy and so many bruises on her face from falling :(.. Scarier when she starts walking though for sure.
When my daughter first started crawling I was excited to see her do it, but at the same time I was thinking,”uh oh, know I really have to keep an eye on what’s within reach”. I also recall many times I would try to change her diaper and she would just roll over and try to crawl away.
My son took his first steps at 11 months old, while talking to his daddy on webcam. My husband was deployed at the time, and we rarely were able to talk during that particular deployment…about once a month actually, so it as very special 🙂
My son is 17 months old and still not walking, but he sure tries! The last week he stands at the couch, turns and then takes three running steps before falling where he laughs so hard!
My friend’s daughter recently discovered the fun of slides but she needs help climbing up ladders.
The niece is 9, so she’s past the being an active toddler stage, but now she is an active girl taking hula lessons!
My son went from barely being able to move to being fast as lightning seemingly over night. He zipped from end to end of the house like his diaper was on fire.
Mine are not crawling yet.
Wow! These would be great with a VERY mobile toddler!! 😉
My niece is 12 months, she just started walking now!
My little guy started walking at around 12 months. And, once he started, he took off from there. Now, he’s climbing all over the place.

My little one started walking at 10 months
My nephew was a bit of a late bloomer – he started crawling around 11 months and took a few more to manage walking, but now he’s doing it like a champ!
The youngest one in our family is my niece who is 5 yrs old. She can run fast which she does if she is being a weasel. I walk with a cane so there’s no way I’m going to catch her. When my daughter was little she took her first steps at 10 months old. She started everything early. She got her first 2 teeth at 3 months. I’m sure in a few yrs I’ll be a grandma so that’ll be fun. Thank you 🙂
My oldest skipped crawling and went straight to walking at like 9 months.. she was crazy!
my boy started crawling w/bribes w/snacks. Once my sister tried to bribe him and he looked over w/o moving until she put down enough 🙂
My little one took her first steps on the last day of one of her grandmother’s visits! Grandma got to see and share in the excitement
My niece just started crawling.
10 months and it was so exciting
Started walking at 13 months
I remember my youngest first started crawling like a soldier–on her arms not her hands.
my baby girl started walking about 2 months ago and it’s so awesome! i was worried my hubby would be at work when she took her first steps but we were all there together in the living room when she stood up and headed straight for dad’s mountain dew! guess she really wanted to check it out!

My active nephew got a hold of our home phone and threw it in the toilet! (I do blame my MIL though because she’s the one who left the door open!) But luckily I put it in a container of rice and it dried out and works again!

My kids both started walking in the weeks after their first birthdays.
I’m still pregnant with my first, but this last week she started kicking hard enough I could see my stomach move.
My daughter started crawling between 6 and 7 months old. It started off as an army crawl, but boy could she GO! LOL!
My baby was about a year old when she started walking.
My daughter started crawling at about 8 months and then she was pulling up to the couch and walking by 10 months. She would fall down and then one day she just got up by herself and took off, she didn’t even have to hold on to the couch anymore.
My son started walking at his great grandparents house while we were there for Thanksgiving! It was wonderful for them to be able to see his first few steps!
Hand holding!! That is so simple and I love it to death!
For some reason when my daughter starting crawling she would prefer army crawling over all fours, then she got the hang of it. We would stand her up against the wall and she got the upright balance idea and one day just leaped and hopped then fell (gently) then she got the idea.
Both of my kiddos were over a year when they started walking. Secretly, I was glad!
My little one started walking at 10 months
Both of my big baby boys were 13 months when they started to walk. You just couldn’t wait for them to take that first step, then you wish they hadn’t!
My daughter never crawled, just scooted across the floor to get where she was going. She has always been in a hurry and crawling didn’t get her there fast enough. When she started walking it was at a run. lol
I remember when my niece first crawled to me. I was really proud and couldnt stop laughing

My little guy first walked Christmas morning – straight to his Radio Flyer wagon! Guess it was a pretty great gift from Santa! 😀

mine starting walking (wobbly) at 11 months
I had a fun day of after Christmas shopping with my niece. Upon returning home, she proceeded to run to the dog’s water bowl, picking it up & spilling it all over the kitchen floor (she knew this was off limits). Then she ran to the bedroom & stood on the bottom bookshelf to reach a toy on the top shelf. This resulted in pulling over & dumping the entire contents of the shelves on top of herself, & something else. She did this all in about 2-3 minutes. I had difficulty holding back a laugh as she was scolded! 🙂
Both my kids started crawling at 5.5 months!! UGH so early! I hope baby #3 is a bit more laid back and waits until at least 7 months!
They both crawled BEFORE they even sat up!
My daughter began walking around 10 months….more of a waddle and didn’t realize she could bend her knees for about another month after that. So funny to watch.
When mine started walking he would pick up his dads lunch box and waddle through the kitchen with it, was so cute:)
My son started walking at 13 months and hasn’t slowed down since!
