hi everyone,
I’m writing this for reassurance really. I’m annoyed with myself as I told myself I wouldn’t do this with my second child but I can’t help but worry about her development.
My little girl is nearly 15 months old. She can’t crawl yet, she’s really close but it’s taken her a while to get going. She was ‘late’ to roll and to sit unaided. She can stand against the sofa but only when we put her there, she’s not pulling herself up on to furniture.
She can clap, wave but not point. She can say ‘bye bye’ and ‘mama’ but not heard anything else. She joins in with row your boat song by screaming at the end for the crocodile and will do ready steady go games in the bath.
When she plays, she makes this humming noise like ‘nerrrrrrr nerrrrrrrr’ and will turn the toys as she does this.
she likes to pass me a toy phone to speak in to and likes to pass me a cup to pretend drink it but she doesn’t copy those actions back.
I’m getting myself in a bit of a state worrying about her. My eldest is nearly 8 so I honestly can’t remember how she was at this age but I do know she walked just after she turned 1.
She’s sociable with us, will look for us and smiles when she sees us. She makes good eye contact.
I guess my main worries are the delay in gross motor and the vocal stimming when she plays.
can anyone else shed some light or offer advice for how to get her moving? Does this sound like typical development things or do I need to be concerned?
thank you x
