Worried about my 11 month old

Hi all

My 11 month old is doing well in lots of areas.
He can :
pull himself up
crawl and cruise furniture
stand for a few minutes un assisted
babbles a lot although most commonly just the d sounds
knows to wave when we say bye bye or someone leaves
has recently started copying us saying 'uh oh' when he drops something
responds to name

However I'm really worried about a few things.
The fact he will not bring me toys or anything of interest that I've noticed other babies doing at his age. I think it's called shared interest ? He also doesn't point. He can clap but rarely does it.

Thoughts and has anyone experienced similar ?

Personally, I wouldn't worry too much OP. My now three year old was doing all of the same things as yours by 11 months but didn't clap until well after she'd turned one (and even then it was hitting the back of her hand with the other). I can't remember her bringing me toys or anything like that at that age either. However, soon she was walking at one, when she started talking her speech was fantastic and at two she was well ahead of all other 'milestones'.

I think your 11 months old sounds perfect, it's completely normal to be stronger at some things than others. My sister's little one was clapping at 9 months but didn't crawl until 14 months.

Thank you for your reply that's helped reassure me x
