I am concerned that everyone's else's baby seems to be saying mama, dada, hiya, bye, cat etc whereas my just turned 10m old simply shouts and squeals all day long.
His development check questionnaire came in the post a few weeks ago and the expectations in the Communication section has somewhat alarmed me as DS can't really meet any of them.
Apparently he's supposed up understand what "Come here" means without any accompanying gestures (I.e me holding my arms out) but if I said "Come here" to DS I'm pretty sure he'd stare blankly at me.
It also expects that if I were to say "Let's sing twinkle twinkle little star" then DS would, without prompting, start doing the hand movements. He understands the word "clap" and starts manically clapping but that's about his limit of understanding that words have meaning.
Like I said he doesn't stop babbling away, it's constant, but that's all he does.
Am I panicking over nothing?
