Way too long ago for me to remember Wink

Huge variety in my dc for crawling/walking:
Dd1 crawled at 10 months, walked at 16 months.
DD2 crawled at 5 months, walked at 8 months
Ds crawled at 7 months, could walk at 10 months, but far preferred to crawl so he could have a car in each hand and push it watching the wheels. He was 18 months before he chose to walk normally.

Pull to stand can't remember.

Babble: The only one I remember babbling really was ds. Can't remember when, but you could have a long conversation with him listening, with great eye contact and then replying. Ironically he couldn't really hear (glue ear), was the slowest to talk and also has ASD.

Wave: I only remember dd1 who started waving at about 7 months. When dh left for work I used to carry her out to wave goodbye to him on his bike. So we did a lot of it.
Currently there's two small children living near us whose daddy goes off to work at about 7:15-7:25am and my alarm call is them calling "bye bye daddy, love you... have a good day". It's totally adorable, and I miss those days.

Clap: No idea for any of them

Point: They were pretty consistent on this. I think they all pointed at 11 months. I think it's the only thing they really did at the same time. We did a lot of pointing at things in books while on the bus, which is probably why.
Dd2 points not with her index finger, but her second finger. I think this is because she is missing her left hand from birth, so this meant she could continue holding onto something while she pointed.

Crawl/Walk - crawled at 10.5 months, walked at 15 months.

Pull to stand - 1 year 6 days

Babble - 1 year 6 days

Wave - 10 months

Clap - 8.5 months

Point - can’t remember exactly but before she was 1.

My DD was lazy though, she didn’t roll until 8.5 months!

My little girl is 1 in two weeks so a lot of this is very fresh memory.

She was slightly later to sit but then everything came super quickly after. She was sitting at 7 months, crawling confidently at 8 months then pulling to stand at 9 months. She’s only recently started taking steps holding onto our hands, she’s strong enough but she has absolutely no balance so I don’t think she’ll be actively walking for a while yet.

Babbling properly from maybe 6/7 months, clapping maybe around 10 months and recently started waving. Hasn’t shown any interest or sign she might point. She’s clearly trying to talk, can do a very clear mama and dada, trying really hard to say cat but nothing else yet

Oh bless her heart trying to say cat that’s so cute. My little one still hasn’t said mumma or dadda yet
