My 8 month old DS is not really interested in reaching for and playing with toys. Is this normal?
He has always had strong legs and is more interested in bashing the floor and any toys with his feet whilst he sticks his fingers and thumb in his mouth. He very rarely reaches for anything and doesn't show more than a passing interest in physical toys. He rolls really easily and would be crawling if he realised that he needs to do something with his hands as well as his legs. He seems very alert and doesn't sit still, always looking around, and described as a real wriggler.
I just wonder if I should be in any way concerned or if there is anything I could try to get him more interested in using his hands rather than his feet.
