When did your baby start to clap, wave or point?

Im FTM and worried about my little one who is 12 months in couple of weeks. He is not clapping or pointing, waves on his own terms- randomly at strangers outside but not on demand.
Otherwise he seems on track- started to walk at 11 months and mastering it now. Babbles but not much- can go quite for half a day.
Im looking for some reassurance as I see other kids at this age are doing so many gestures. I know they all develop at their own pace, but this doesn’t stop me worry.
Please share your stories if you had a late waver/ clapper.

Pointing properly about 14 months , clapping and waving 17 months . Don’t stress about it yet - they really vary in development until the age of two I have found

I would say around the 12-14 month mark, so sounds like he’s perfectly on track.
