Is it normal?

That my 5m 1w old boy can stand up by himself if hes leaning on furniture? He can also pull himself up when hes sitting down holding onto my hands, im a ftm, never taken care of a baby before.. I didnt think babies do this yet haha? I dont like him standing i always sit him down but he loooves standing and im scared his legs will go bowed.. He started sitting up by him self at 4 months and is almost rolling over! I feel dumb by asking this because i know there is no 'normal' for babies haha just wondering if anyones elses baby is the same?

Even from one month he would try stand up against me haha he hates being layed down in my arms he just wants to be upright! He learnt how to pull himself up by pulling my hands and now he wont stop hahaha every time hes sitting down he wants to stand up!

My son loved to stand from 3 months on. Of course we held his arms and made sure he wouldn't fall. I actually asked his doctor about the bow legs thing and he said its bull crap. My son is now 3 and his legs are fine.

They say when a baby is early at dling stuff theyre doing it to move out the way for the next. So who ever the mom is might be preggo again.

My oldest was walking at 7 Months old & RUNNING by 8 months. I was beyond proud that he started walking so early but than I quickly realized I wish he would've waited lol. Too much running after him.  My second started waking at 10 months.  All baboes are different. Some learn faster then others.
