Hello everyone , i hope the best to everyone. I have some concerns about my baby girl . I don't know if they are valid and that's why i am asking you .
My girl is 11 and half months.
Good eye contact, babbling a lot , imitates movement like clapping and another movement that we have here in my country ( she also does this without make the movement, just singing the song) , she is pointing because she wants something or to show .
When she finds something interesting like a song for example she looks at us and she gives us things .
She also sometimes when i ask her where is dada , she points him or when i asked her give me the toy , she give it to me .She is cruising , she is walking with my hands for support .She respond to her name , i think 6/10 when i m far . She lift her arms to be picked up.
Concerns:
She doesn't say any words , she doesn't wave bye bye , she is grunting, she hand flapping sometimes or kicking legs , i don t know is thats stimming.
Thank you for every opinion .
Have a nice day .

She sounds like she's doing brilliantly.

Some babies have a word or two by now – lots don't, not for a few months yet. She has other gestures, so not waving bye-bye is not a concern either – you want them to have at least one gesture by this stage, but which one doesn't really matter (and she's doing a few).

She's also still of the age where playing with noises and her body (grunting, flapping, kicking) is developmentally typical – many, many children do it, particularly if it is a relatively small part of their day. It can start to become a concern if it persists roughly past toddlerhood (depending a bit on what it is, plenty of developmentally typical adults might fiddle with their hair when they're thinking, for example) or if it something the child consistently does for large amounts of time over a period of time (but generally not if they do it a lot for a week or two and then move on to something else).

Thank you . She does it one or two times a day when she is angry or bored i think and she stops when i give her a toy for example . I m so anxious about her development, really . She does a lot of things like giving , showing , pointing and i don't know if it's my anxiety. I have OCD and PPA .
