He's fine. Some children do things a little slower than others. Every child is on their own time frame and they do things when they want. I had a grandson that walked all day long at my house when he was 10 months old, but the minute his parents pulled into my drive way every evening. He would start crawling again.
Some times they just like to play game with us too. Don't worry, he will walk when he is ready and not a minute sooner.

It is fine. Children do things at different times. I believe the average for walking extends to around 14 months. If the child is not walking by 15 months then maybe your doctor could check some things out. Just relax and enjoy your baby.

Evey child has their own schedule. One of my sons walked at 7 months and the other at 15 months.Your youngest probably just doesn't need to walk yet. Is he sitting up and crawling? Kids are fun. We have four form ages 2, 3, 6 and 10. If you are really worried ask your pediatrician.

No not yet, if he is cruising his muscles are getting built up for him to walk, my daughter didn't start walking until after her first birthday, but when she did learn to walk, it's like the next week she was running. So don't worry, you can help by getting your baby by the hands, guiding him up on his feet and encouraging him to take steps and when he is confident let him take his own steps. I did that with my daughter and she loved it. Good Luck

Don't worry, my son was about 15 months when he decided to walk. They say it can take up to 18 months before you might start to worry.

Sounds perfectly normal. My first son pulled himself up at 8 months, but didn't walk on his own til 15 months. Second son was walking on his own at 10 months. I have cousin whose son didn't walk til 23 months!

It is absolutely OK.
I know that it is hard but you cannot compare your children.
I have twins and that has been one of my hardest lessons to learn.
Children can walk as late at 18 months and that is perfectly normal.
He is showing signs of trying to walk and figure out his way. He sounds amazing to me.
