Hello
I'm slightly concerned about my 13 month olds communication development. He doesn't clearly say any words although he's just started doggy when he sees the dogs. He babbles and says mama and dada. The childminders asked me if he understood no the other day - I think he does understand it and just ignores when he wants to. Seems to listen more to me than his dad.
He doesn't respond to his name most of the time but I'm not sure if this is selective or not but he does often just ignore when his name is getting called . Hes also not pointing with a finger yet although he will make it known when he wants something and reaches out - so he is communicating.
He's very social, and loves other children, he has great eye contact with myself and everyone even strangers - I took him to a class yesterday and he was dancing round smiling looking all the other mum's in the eye for attention. He does give you things when you ask and he does enjoy playing with us and other children.
He walked at 10 months so no worries on that side of things .
Just wondering if anyone else's 13 month old has been similar? I've spoken to the HV who ran through some questions and said he's perfectly normal for his age.
Thanks x
