T. Berry Brazilton, MD has a great book titled "Infants And Mothers." Flip through it and you'll be reassured that any kind of motor activity to get from point A to Point B is considered "normal". In my daughter's play group, I remember that there was great variability in the age those children walked. I remember that walking ranged from 10 months to 18 months and these infants are all "normal" today.

Maybe your daughter enjoys the sensation of repetitive activity. Don't you think this could be normal or maybe early signs of a child destined to be a bit anxious, a worrier, or have OCD tendencies? Myself and my daughter have these traits and we are mostly happy, productive people. From hearing you, I think this might describe you, too!

I know that whatever the outcome with your beautiful daughter, you will find a way to cope and celebrate your lives together.
