Yes. While most babies take their first steps sometime between 9 and 12 months, it's okay if your child takes longer. Many perfectly normal children don't walk until they are closer to 18 months old.
Over the course of this first year, your baby has gradually gained coordination and muscle strength throughout his or her body, learning to sit, roll over, and crawl. Most children move on to pulling up and standing at about 8 months. From then on it's a matter of gaining confidence and balance to walk.
The important thing is the progression of skills. If your baby was a little late learning to roll over and crawl, chances are he or she will need a few extra weeks or months for walking as well. As long as your baby keeps learning new things, you don't have to be too concerned.
