whens normal to hit the big ones?
just seems dd2 is in no rush...she seems happy enough but when i compare her development to dd1 she seems quite behind. for e.g. dd1 held head up at 6w but dd2 was 13w, dd1 rolled at 10w but dd2 was 17w ....at nearly 5m dd2's hand eye co-ordination seems far behind what dd1's was. i know all kids r different but no child in my family seemed to be this slow. i asked the hv who looked at her saw she was happy n responsive n told me shes just a bit lazy....anyone elses babies milestones been a bit late?

a bit lazy???
Head up at 13w is normal
Rolling at 17 weeks is on the early side of normal, I believe
Hand eye coordination at 5m will likely be fairly minimal
She is NORMAL
Change your HV

really? thanks for the reply, im a little less concerned :) i might consider asking for a new hv...shes worked with my kids for nearly 18m now n ive never really warmed to her, she always seems really unenthusiastic about her job and sometimes when i take the girls to get weighed i feel i shouldnt air out my concernes because on occasion ive done so and she can talk to me very sarcastic and appears to not give a damn about much.
