Hmmm i try not to bother too much about milestones myself cos my kids have all developed at different times - eg Riley didn't crawl until 11 months/walk at 14 months, yet now he one of the most nimble kids around - Giselle crawled at 7.5 months and walked at 11 months, and still trips over her own feet LOL. Riley was first to sit cos he was so fat and the rolls stopped him from falling over hehehehe, I was so worried when he wasnt crawling - caused me a lot of unnecessary worry. But sometimes bigger babies take longer to walk!

Well Zander has rolled front to back a couple of times and back to front once - he was face planted, but still did it - once i got his arms out from under him he was much happier . He can smile and hold something if I put it in his hand - he eats his hands but has not found his feet yet. He laughs, and tenses his tummy muscles and neck when pulled up to a sitting position from laying down.

For first time mummies, there are variations of normal, as long as your bubs do most of them around the time expected

Osteo - Zander is fine, a little bit tight at base of head so she did some balancing which of course he just hated - means his head held still for a couple of minutes a few times in different positions - no baby likes to be held still! So going back next Friday - but she thinks that if no change to his feeding, it is just him having very favourite side cos there are no other signs such as being unsettled etc

HTH Georgi - fickle boys
