My guy's grandmother said that her daughter started to walk before seven months. I find it hard to believe bc my seven month old just started to "walk" using the furniture for balance. People said even that was some what early. Has anyone really seen a seven month old running around?

It would be extremely unusual. Average age for taking a first step is 9-17 months. I've heard of babies starting at 8 to 8 1/2 months, but 7 seems unlikely...

Can Babies Walk At 7 Months

My daughter started walking at seven months. As soon as she was 8 months she was running around like crazy. It is possible. I wouldn't say it's unlikely because every baby develops differently. 9 months is the average but it's not the end all say all. Just when MOST babies pick up that milestone. Some later some sooner. My daughter was cruising at the end of six months along the bed and couches and such. She was pulling herself up around the end of five months beginning of six and crawling at five. There's no right or wrong when it comes to milestones unless it's extremely delayed like not walking yet at 15 months.

My friend's son started walking at 7 months. It was quite funny to see a tiny little guy walking around. He has two older brothers to keep up with.
My own daughter's started walking at 12 and 13 months.

It is possible ALL babies develop at different ages. My daughter was 8 months!
The bowlegged thing is a wives tale. NOT TRUE!
Also babies that seems to start walking earlier talk less (they are more physical) and babies that talk late seem to talk more. My daughter just went for her 18 month check up last month and I was worried because she isn't talking much, but I have taught her some baby signs so there would be less fustration between us when she wants something.
Anyways my doctor said she is starting to lag behind on speech but it is NORMAL in infants that walk early. The first thing she asked when I said something about her verbal skills was "when did she start walking?" She told me to keep up with the baby signs to cause less fustration so she will be more conserned about talking then getting what she wants.
She has added another word to her vocabulary this month! "cool", granted it is an "easy" word, but I still love it! The sooner she talks the BETTER!
Now we are working on potty training!

It's early but not impossible. My baby was 8 months when she started walking and she's an entirely normal 14 year old now.

Yes. My son was walking and practically running by 9 months. I know that it wasn't 7 months but all children do different things at different times. My son was a big baby and it seemed that he did everything early as though with his size not with his age. But he was holding his weight on his own ( with my support ) and holding his head up on his own when he was just two to three days old.

My parents told me that I started to walk unassisted when I was only eight months old. So I'm sure it's possible (although unlikely) for a baby to begin walking at 7 months.

Yep! I haven't seen one "running", but yes, some children become very mobile very young (scary though it may be). Also, just like a pre-term baby needing to take adjusted age in to account, a late baby is the same- for example my second was born 5 wks early so any milestone she acheived on average would have happened 5 wks after when she should have been doing it at her current age. Hope that makes sense and congratulations...start baby proofing your stuff if you haven't already!

My son started to crawl around that age but he then started walking at about 9-10 months old.

Every baby moves at their own pace, my boyfriends friends daughter was walking along the couch and pulling her self up at 6.5 months, and started crawling a few weeks after that, and here my son is, started rolling over all the way around 7 months, and he doesnt sit up by hisself yet, and i dont think walking/holding him self up on furniture is comming near any times soon.
