Hi,
just looking for some advice my DS is 8.5 months old and I have a few little niggles about his progress.
He can sit up unaided and the past week has been pushing himself into the sitting position from his tummy (when he’s on tummy time), before this he was lifting himself and sliding backwards for weeks, which has stopped now that he has learnt to get into the sitting position so worried he won’t be able to crawl now as he’s just getting into sitting position.
eye contact is okay will look at you but not great.
can reach out arms when I go to pick him
up, will put out his hands to pull onto my hands so he can stand.
Sleeps relatively well always, but cannot roll over only has a handful of times from belly to back, never back to belly.
Can track objects and follows people if they leave or come into the room.
Will smile at us and occasionally laugh but not a great deal. Enjoys peekaboo.
lifts feet to play with them
babbling/screeching but no actual mama/dada etc, sometimes grunting more and tensing his whole body when laying down on back which is worrying.
he hasn’t rolled back to belly and won’t even attempt it.
constantly wants to put everything into mouth/licking and sucking on everything.
doesnt really look when we call him think he turns more to the sound not his name.
scratches surfaces not constantly but does.
when sitting on sofa or floor constantly kicking his legs like rubbing his feet together.
arms and legs always moving
wont imitate or copy sounds or if we sing to him he won’t babble along.
not clapping/pointing or handing me toys
won’t really cry if he’s hungry
constantly looking up at lights or ceiling…always looking at door knobs and plug switches (silver)
when outside looks up at trees.
has no separation anxiety.
doesn’t cry when he wakes up.
no babbling mama or dada
will look everywhere and not acknowledge anything or anyone when he’s outside in his pram
wont attempt to hold his own bottle.
looking for any help and advice please?
