DD2 just turned one yesterday. She does not crawl, she can do a very slow and ineffective bumshuffle if on hardwood, she does not pull up. If she is sitting, she will put her hands on the ground and try to pull herself along (doesn't work very well) and if put on her stomach she can push herself backwards.
She never goes from sitting to tummy on purpose. She can roll over both ways but it's clearly hard work for her, accompanied by a lot of grunting and heavy breathing. Once on her tummy she can't seem to get up on her knees.
Over all it's as if she doesn't know what her arms and legs are for. She doesn't seem to have that burning desire to get to the other side of the room that other kids have.
In all other ways, she's a very bonny baby. She says a few words, points, tries to build block towers, points and generally communicates very well. She's rather small and skinny, and she doesn't look like a 1yo, more like a 9mo, if that makes any sense.
DD1 was also a late mover, but she was crawling by this time! She would go from sitting to tummy and learned to crawl that way. I wasn't going to worry but it's getting a bit late, even for me.
So either tell me not to worry or tell me what to worry about! We have a 1yo check (am in US) next week so will bring it up then but am just getting all het up about it. Any stories or advice appreciated.
