Ok well DD is nearly 6 months now, and apart from the odd teething PITA, she is overall a gorgeous happy little girl..
But ive noticed she isnt doing what alot of other babies are doing her age.. so before i type them all up (not that big of a list lol) i want to just make sure im not over worrying for nothing..
As in i.e sitting, holding things etc..:wall:
anyone :) ??
DD2 was a late bloomer...still is she still isnt walking yet,didn't sit up till later and didnt crawl till she was over 1.
As hard as it is not to worry and compare, they all have their own schedule :)
Well at 7 months (was the same at 5 1/2) :lol:
She rolls, mostly only from back to tummy seems to have forgotten how to roll the other way, she lvoes holding onto blankets/taggie, grabbing at toys on the hanging thing over her playmat. She is weight bearing on her legs, and spins in circles on her mat.
She isn't sitting unaided (hates the bumbo :() or crawling or comando crawling etc.
DD1 had Significant Goss Motor Delays, so I won't bother putting down her "milestones" ;)
Hi Sparklz, I swear we need to stop meeting like this. 3 times in one night.....
I am having trouble trying not to compare my DD's. DD1 bloomed very early. She was rolling and sitting up by herself by 5 months and trying to crawl a couple of weeks later.
DD2 who is a few days older then your princess sounds similar. Very happy cruisy baby and just likes to sit and watch. She has not rolled yet, she can sit up for short periods by herself though, she grabs at things and holds on very tight and loves standing for short periods. I know she will get there in her own time and I am not rushing it. I am going to sit back and enjoy.
My DD was not holding onto things at just on 6 months. She'd unconsciously hold onto things in her grasp, but wouldn't intentionally grab. Didn't roll either. Then within a week, at about 6.5 months, she started grabbing, and a week later started pulling things to her mouth. The rolling came all in a big rush too. She's now 7 months and isn't sitting or crawling but kind of slugs around on the floor.
Oh and she also does a great fish out of water type flop around the floor the minute I take her nappy off.
Thanks ladies,
yes having 3 boys whom all walked by 8 1/2 months i can see this one being the chubba bubba who lets people rush around for her lol
:ROFL: Kazzo, i know ha!! LOL before you even said she is couple days older then amali i noticed her bday lol!! Thats my nans bday!! that to me makes me smile alot..
Yeah she seems to roll alot and when i say alot, i mean it, i put her on the rug and always find her in the kitchen, ds's room or with her feet up on the entertainement unit watching tv LOL..
She cant sit yet i try to help her out, but she just flops to one side or attacks the closest thing to her..
I have a walkie i put her in for a while, she never wants to sit, she is constantly moving and you would never believe its like she is in a car race, she dashes around the house like her wheels are on fire.. But her max time in there is 15-20 min..
she reaches for her teddies, and toys but if its not in front of her she will just look at it and thats that..
I guess i shouldnt worry, and enjoy the precous little time i have left not having to safety lock all the doors and draws and furniture lol
:HUG: thanks every one :)
Every bubba is different babe. If you have any concerns could you go see a child health nurse that will help?
Love MN ;-)
Rory thats what my dd does.. she wiggles around and most of the time i never see her go.. she is shifty lol..
I said to my mum today, she is so sly imagine her when she is 16 and wants a life lol...
Time to buy the padlocks and chastity belts oh and the window bars BAHAHAHHA,..
Sounds like she is going great. I would not be worried at all.
Your right though, she might really want to take advantage of been the princess and making you all work for her.
Lol i better snap her out of it then, make her get up and vaccum and etc LOL!!
No she is very cheeky she knows, that little smirk and tiny head turn says it all..
But i feel alot better now.. Why do all kids have to be so different!!
