Alah congrats mama, so sweet! Your boy is doing brilliantly, honestly, the ones who crawl longer usually end up steadier walkers anyway, so you made the right call letting him explore at his own pace instead of rushing. I have a few mum friends whose kids walked late too and they're all fine now, some even more careful and coordinated than the early walkers, so don't worry about the comments lah. Enjoy this phase because once they start walking, they really do seem to grow up so fast, mine is almost 2 now and I can't believe how different he looks compared to just a few months ago!
