Pointing/Clapping/Waving

Are your LOs:

Waving?

Clapping?

Pointing?

Just curious! My little guy just turned 9 months and is doing none of these.

My LO is just over 9 months and does all of these, but every baby is different.

Thanks for the reply. I keep telling myself that every baby is different, but it's hard not to worry.

My LO is 10 months and he waves but not consistently. He isn't clapping or pointing yet. At 9 months, I definitely don't think you need to worry.

DS is just shy of a year. He points (mostly to objects in books) like he's poking something, and he started waving on Monday. He still doesn't clap. The pedi wasn't worried about it at his one year checkup yesterday.

DD does all of these inconsistently, but does not crawl, stand, pull to stand, etc. I agree with you, it is hard not to worry. She's now the only immobile baby at daycare.

At 10m he just started pointing and waving, but not consistently No clapping yet but I'm not worried.

DD does these things at random- I can't say clap, sweetie, and she does.

She does it when she feels like it.

I try to associate words with them. If I wave to her, she does the backwards wave.

She started around 8/9 months.

She is now 10 months.

No worries mama!

LO is 11 months actual. She claps all the time and has been for awhile. She doesn't really point purposefully and has only waved a couple times.

The twins are almost 11 months. If I help them clap, they will open their hands but won't clap on their own. Neither point or actually wave yet. I'm not worried. They are too focused on learning to walk. Both can walk while holding my hands. DS is starting to do it while only holding one hand. Both come to me and basically take my hands so they can walk.

I think they will both be walking by 1 which is in 5 weeks and 2 days.

He only waves, kind of. More so to himself. Lol.

This. My DS turned 9 months last week and he just started doing the gestures along with some signs all within the last few days, but doesn't crawl, pull up, etc.

K will be 10 months next week. He has been clapping for a while, wont point but has started reaching one hand towards things, and has never waved.

DS is almost 11 months. He high-fives me, but doesn't clap his hands together. I don't think he points or waves. Also didn't crawl until a week ago.

But he knows how to feed himself with a spoon, stack blocks, and sort objects according to colour. So I think every baby has areas that he/she is good at.

My other kids all pointed 1112mo. My 10mo isn't doing it yet. He just started clapping. I had one child clap at 7 1/2mo. I remember my DD waved backwards at 8mo an this guy isn't waving yet either. Really, as a mom of 4, they are all so different.

Stephorse · June 2013

My LO is not quite 9 months yet, but he just started clapping. He will wave on occasion, but it's not consistent enough to call it waving. It's still early yet.

Hennessy · June 2013

Our LO is just over 9 months. He's been waving since probably 7 months and clapping since about 8 months but he doesn't crawl at all...

Many of these milestones can be very inconsistent.... there's nothing to worry about if your LO isn't doing them!

DollEri · June 2013

DD is almost 10 months. She doesn't point at all, she just started clapping a couple of weeks ago, and while she started waving at 8 months, she stopped suddenly after about a week, and just started back up again. The silly girl still doesn't crawl. Don't worry!

StellaAnn · June 2013

DS is 10 months and he claps and waves when he feels like it but does not point.

twinkletoes3126 · June 2013

Thanks for all the replys! I feel much better.

My 9 mo old will clap and has been for a month or so. However, no waving and no pointing. He'll look at what I point to now.

We've also been signing to him and I think the clap could sometimes = more. That's a very common sign we give him when we are feeding him. He likes to eat.
