Currently waiting on my 12 month old boy doing any of these things. Would love to see him clap or wave and starting to worry that he's not pointing yet.

10 month old started clapping at 7.5months, no interest in waving or pointing yet!

DS1 didn't wave or clap until 16 months! He pointed at 9 months but that was considered very early.

DS2 is 9 months and doesn't do any of those things.

DD is 10mo she can do all of these things x

DD started waving and clapping at 7.5 months and started pointing at 9 months but she’s been much slower on motor skills - crawled just before 11 months and not walking at almost 16 months.

Regular nursery rhymes eg wind the bobbin up has helped my child to do these more consistently. A good tip I read was practising waving by saying goodbye to different things during the day eg. Goodbye sandpit etc.
