    Can I ask if you know whether this is by the age of 12 months, or by the end of the 12th month (i.e. the age of 13 months)?

    The next group is 12-24 months, so I'm guessing they're looking for kids to be doing it by the 12th month? 

    If you want the whole document, I can email it to you - just PM me.

    This seems like an odd list, since crawling is not a developmental milestone from what my ped says.  Children do not have to crawl to walk. 

    Where is this list from?

    I was sent it from my pedi, but here is the citing on the document:

    Adapted by First Look and The Early Childhood Direction Center from: Shelov, S. P., & Hannemann, R. E. (1994).  The

    I think I'll print this for my pedi - she will get a kick out of it after rolling her eyes - especially at the red flag section. lol

    Why would your pedi laugh and/or roll her eyes? Those absolutely can be red flags, any pedi worth her salt would take them seriously for a number of reasons not the least of which would be assessing proper gross/fine motor skills, cognitive development and speech development. If your pedi were to LOL at the red flag list, it might be time for a new pedi.
