She is fine. I promise. I often read things she does in Baby Buddies and can't believe she's a prem who had a tough start. She's actually doing awesome.
Niece can say her name because it's a bloody easy name. "sing-sy" is pretty good for <18 months. Being aware of poo is good too. Tantrums are developmentally normal. Including headbutting. Annoying, but normal.
And she is little. Sure. That's just a reminder of how amazing she is. Just makes it all the more incredible that she's caught up in so many other areas.
She sounds perfectly normal to me
Just try to stop comparing her. You don't need to compare, she's perfect.
Everything she's doing is just what babies do, she's testing her boundaries, totally normal.
C, I'm sorry this is such a worry for you It must be extra stressful when you compare her - she had such a different start to everyone else.
Honestly, she sounds pretty normal to me. I agree with Audax.
Language-wise, she's probably ahead of my son at the same age.
The tantrums etc, that's quite normal, especially if she's feeling frustrated about things. Have you tried sign language at all? It can help bridge the gap till they're able to talk more.
Try to give yourself a break, if you can. Sometimes being a mother and being a housewife are two mutually exclusive activities.
