15 month old doesn't stack blocks....

or cups. DS is totally uninterested in stacking blocks or using his nestling cups the "right" way. I'll stack them for him and he just likes to knock them down little stinker.

Anyone else's LO not doing this yet?

My 23 month old doesn't really stack blocks. I've not really noticed until you said something. I think he's fine. I'm sure your LO is too.,

I really don't think my DS was doing that yet at 15 months. Even now, he tries, but doesn't have too much patience to figure out which can stack on top of which, or fit inside of which...

Mine doesn't do it either.

Whatever. She'll learn it in time.

My DD (19mos) CAN do it, but it's not something she's particularly interested in. This developmental checklist item is looking at mostly fine motor skill development, plus some imitation/toy play. So think of it more broadly...if your DS is demonstrating age appropriate fine motor and toy/object imitation skills in other activities, this one little thing probably isn't something to worry about.

I'm pretty sure stacking blocks is an 18 to 24 month developmental skill. I would not be worried.

DS isn't 15 months yet, but is definitely not stacking blocks. In fact, he does everything but; chews, throws, knocks down, etc. You get the point ;-)

I wouldn't worry. I don't think its uncommon.

No block stacking here. No interest in them either. DD will be 15 months next week. As for the cups, she loves to bang them together, but not stack them.

DS is 15 months and is stacking blocks but the most he has stacked is 5 and then knocks them down and walks away. I'm sure he doesn't really get the point of it and isn't interested so i'm not going to really worry about it and actually never thought of it as a milestone (is it?)
