hi ! i understood your query , every child has slightly varied development stages , some children may start walking at the age of 10 months and some may walk at around 16 months. , need not worry , walking is not the only parameter to judge the development delay. Did the child have any history of delay in crying just after birth etc.? Is sitting to standing problem to her? As far as speech development, you need to talk to the child more. More the stimulus more is the development .
