Just want to put your mind at ease a bit...Jack has only just started pointing in the last week. There other things he has done way before other kids his age, but pointing wasn't one of them. He is almost 15 months.
He doesnt get himself to a sit from his tummy, he only comando crawls (we have floor boards and apparantly common as hurts knees) but he gets places fast!!
he does not pull up to a stand and does not cruise furniture.
But MCHN was happy that he was sociable, chatty and interactive.
I wouldn't worry too much, each in their own time to a certain extent. Though it's not a milestone I had really worried or thought about....& my DS 2yrs & 4months points with the rude finger, hmmmm he's been doing it for some time now wonder if I should be worried.
Just wanted to add,my ds didn't start pointing till he was 18 months. Noone asked me about, so i wasn't worried about it... mchn seemed tp be more concernced about him clapping....
Josh has pointed about 5 times and only just started doing it. My nurse lady freaked me out too saying if he didn't start by the time he was 15 months to go and get him checked. He does "hands on head", claps and has the most amazing pincer grip. They all do things in their own time. I find the nurses who have the biggest problems with developmental things DON'T have kids. Sometimes we have to remember that kids are all different and some do things earlier and some later than what the "textbooks" say! Try not to worry.
He is almost 15 months.
