Do you ever worry that you arnt teaching your LO enough?

Dont get me wrong, I am constantly talking, singing, dancing and reading to him and of course playing with him,but sometimes I hear what other kids are doing his age and I am like ohh shoot am I not teaching him enough??

Like for example- My Friends baby knew where her nose, head, eyes and ears were by 13 months, and a couple people over on the 12-24 month board say that their LO's know how to blow their noses, and I just dont forsee my DS being able to do these things in the next month or two.... (Nor have I really thought about teaching DS this... I just figured he was too little)

 I know ALL babies learn differently... I just hope he isnt lacking in any areas b/c I am not doing enough?!

I worry about it all the time, but I know I am doing my best.

Yes, I do, even though like you said, I spend most of the day reading, playing on the floor with him, doing finger games, naming objects, etc. I think he's perfectly fine most of the time, but it would be a lie to say that when I see another baby doing something that Wes doesn't do yet, it makes me think if I'm doing enough.

FWIW, we do the naming of body parts all the time, and I think right now he could care less, lol. He also refuses to wave, even though we go around all day waving at people and things.

yea but really all kids are different.Your kid is probably better at something then the next kid too. Everyone learns at a different place & is interested in different things.

I was in bed last night just thinking how I feel like there is something more I could do.  But I do everything you can think of with LO.  I feel like I hear or read what other babies can do and start thinking I am not doing enough.

But I have to remind myself he will do it when he is ready.
