I am starting to get concerned about my 9.5 month old DS. Some of you might think this a bit ridiculous but I just feel he doesn't communicate with me or imitate/ copy things. He still doesn't wave bye-bye even though we've been waving at him for at least 2 months. No clapping either. He only answers to his name about 20% of the time (when there's nothing better to do than look at Mummy basically) though I'm not really concerned there's a hearing problem. I would say he's pretty laid back but fairly stubborn! Everything is certainly on his terms, food especially! On the plus side, he loves cuddles and to smile and laugh. He can crawl and is trying to pull up. He babbles (not as much as I'd like him to but certainly on a daily basis). He loves to play with toys and doesn't get transfixed on one toy for an hour etc.
I'm probably coming across as over anxious but the lack of non-verbal communication is really worrying me. His response to me waving, for example, is to smile and sometimes flap his arms in excitement. It doesn't seem to cross his mind that he could copy.
Thanks for any help in advance x
