What is normal - arm waving

in Babies: 9 - 12 Months
So me being a FTM, I really don't know what is normal developmental connections being made in my baby's brain, and what is out of the ordinary. Taylor has very good concentration when he plays, and he loves to explore stuff. When he gets excited or super happy, he bounces his arms, or extends his left arm and waves it back and forth (not his bye bye motion, just back and forth). I don't like to make myself worry, but I have worried since that little boy came into my life that everything would be ok. My mind runs away with me and I try to snuff it out, but the fear that something might be wrong always creeps back into my head. Is this arm waving normal?...still him trying to figure out what it is all about? Or should I be worried?

    DD waves her arms like that all the time when she is excited. I think it's normal and wouldn't worry about it unless you see other issues too.

    It's normal.  My DS never did it but my DD does it and I was told all of my DH's siblings did it.  There are seven kids on that side of the family, all overachievers and very healthy and successful.

    Thanks for all your comments. I feel better now that it is part of him being a normal baby. It is hard to not let your mind run away with you given everything we hear in the news. Thanks ladies...I appreciate it.

    I have a friend with an 8 year old autistic boy. She said that he would NEVER look them in the eye, would actively avoid it. That's how she knew something was off. If that's what you are concerned about, think about the social behaviors. That's what de

    My daughter doesn't really wave her arm, but my son does all the time.  He does it anytime he's excited or super happy...or getting mad.  I think it's normal, but it's nothing I've ever really thought to be worried about, so I never asked.

    Our LO does this too. It's like he's winding up for a really big clap. Or trying to take off in flight. Enjoy it!
