Hi Kate - sorry, I am not really a November '06 mum but I check this thread as my daughter was born in October but was 4 weeks early!
She has been slower at reaching her milestones, and has been diagnosed with slightly low muscle tone, which is improving all the time. She started sitting about the same time and now can sit all day if she needs to, is starting to push herself up to sitting, pushes her body up on arms and knees but isnt quite crawling, and prefers to roll around. They sound very similar.
Has your DD been evaluated by a physio? It was very helpful and encouraging to us, as the physio was able to tell us that all of her movements looked correct and normal, it was just that she was slower in attaining her milestones.
She sees the physio every 2 months just for a check but we have been told that she should catch up and be fine, she might be clumsy later but as long as she is improving the outlook is very good..
I would also like some support from someone in the same situation, it is disheartening to see/hear about everyone else's 1 year old walking and cruising all the time when Kirsten isn't!!
