What are indications that a baby is prepared to walk?

Typically, infants progress through several stages such as creeping, crawling, stepping, pulling up, and cruising before they can walk. However, there is variation in the order and timing of these stages among babies. While some babies may crawl or cruise before they can walk, others may skip these stages altogether. Additionally, while some infants may start walking as early as six months, others may take longer to achieve this milestone.
