When do babies do this?? Why doesn't mine?

hi everyone, thanks first for reading this post. I just wondered when, in other people's experiences, babies or toddlers start bringing over a toy to show mummy or daddy (or anyone!), or bringing over a favourite book to read for example? I wouldn't have noticed that my dc doesn't do this as it never occurred to me, but a friend mentioned yesterday that her dc brings over her favourite books to be read to her. And I see other toddlers bring over toys to show mummy etc. My dc never has done this and I am starting to wonder if that is a bit odd? Thank you in advance for any replies

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

hmmm i can't remember

ds1 was very into books and i am pretty sure was bringing books to me at under a year

the other 2... i couldn't tell you but would hazard a guess at before 18 months

DS2 is 14 months and it was about a month ago when he started bringing me toys and books :)

I can't remember them bringing me toys. I can remember them bashing me with things!

Actually, with the books they probably both started around 18mo.

Mine was about 15/16 months I think. How old is your DC? Do they show shared attention in other ways, pointing etc?

My DD is 15 months and doesn't do this yet...

My DS is 14 months and has been doing this for about a month and a half.

OP - what age is your DC?

DS 22.5mo brings books to us to read, can't remember when he started doing it though.

I don't recall him bringing a toy over though.

About 18 months when she would start showing me things. I don't think it anything to worry about though. Before she started bringing things to me, she would point to things and say "Wsat?" (what's that).
