Hi there, my son is is going to be 1 yo this week.
From the very early days he did not like to be rocked or held in a cuddling position. If you just hold him in a vertical position he is fine. Never liked tummy time and if put on the tummy immediatly flips over on the back. He likes lying on the back simolteniously flapping with his hands and legs. He rolls over quite well and can raise himself on his arms but not on all fours. He does not crawl but I can see sometimes he bottom shuffles. He stands with support and recently started attempts to pull himself up into a standing position with support. We were referred to physio and now do excersises to encourage crawling.
He recognises himself in the mirror, laughs at the familiar songs, can clap his hands, drinks from the beacker and eats fingerfood. He can roll the ball but mainly bashes his other toys with his hands or agains each other. He flips pages of the book and can press buttons on musical toys and books. He does not always respond to his name, but he does look at me when I enter the room and smiles. When he is upset or excited he raisis his arms and does circule gestures. When he plays byhimslef he does not look into my eyes or responds if I call him, but he has good eye contact during feeding and mimics sounds and sometimes faces, expresses joy or anger. He bubbles mama, vava etc and blows raspeberies since he was around 8 m old. He is being raised in the biligual environment.
I am concerned that he may have some delay in his brain development, has anyone had similar experiences with positive outcome?
