Things your lo DOESN'T do

LokiLahve · June 2014

With a late aug lo I always feel like we're so far behind. With new videos of A13 babies WALKING popping up almost daily, it's hard not to compare sometimes. I know a few others have voiced this perspective in the past as well,
So tell me what your lo isn't doing.

Yes, all babies develop at their own pace. I know S is fine & is right where she needs to be, but sometimes it's nice to know you're not alone.

Throw3ks · June 2014

LO is not walking. Not crawling and not making consenants. No teeth either but I guess that's not really something she isn't doing. Still taking into consideration she is a preemie but sometimes it's hard.

LEMSA · June 2014

Not STTN. Better, but still up at least 2x. Not night weaned at all despite my best efforts. Not doing things on command--wave, clap. He just does it whenever. Saying mama/dada but not in respect to us. Just sounds when he babbles.

MinnesotaMomma91 · June 2014

Hes not walking solo, he doesnt say momma just dada. Hes not sleeping through the night

nnikki10 · June 2014

Not walking. Barely cut her first tooth this past weekend. Started waking up during the night again.

LokiLahve · June 2014

Not walking, crawling, getting up on knees, or able to sit herself up.
Not eating much (maybe 1/4 cup per meal) or drinking from a sippy cup (but she loves to chuck it across the room).
Not trying to mimic things I do, she just does her own thing. Not doing many things on command (clapping, waving), only when she feels like it.
Not babbling much. We get mama & baba....and shrieks & yells.
Not doing calculus or the dishes...we're working on those. Also not potty trained or writing her name yet, but I'm hopeful that will happen soon.

vulpini · June 2014

Not cruising or walking. Not saying any words except dada and even that one is mostly random, rather than addressed at DH. Not clapping, not waiving, not pointing. Mostly playing with finger foods and not really eating any significant amount. Still waking up 2x most nights, only once on the good nights.

Stormytucker · June 2014

Not walking solo literally just started cruising and hes an early aug baby! Not saying mamma does say dadda , also not doing dishes but I am considering putting some swiffer pads on his knees so he can start earning his keep around here!

Bunnyfer · June 2014

Not walking. Not saying mama. Says Dada, but not meaning Dh. Can hold a bottle, but refuses to. Just started STTN again. She just started crawling a few days ago. She just started feeding herself and even that is limited. She shakes her head no... And just had started to wave.. She does have So Big down pat though... But we don't day so big... We do the Daniel Bryan YES chant... Very cute

APK141 · June 2014

Not walking yet. Or waving...at all. Same with clapping. You get a blank stare back. Doesn't do "so big". Doesn't eat much table food; he despises texture and this can be a problem. :-S

ladyoriza · June 2014

He will not clap. Just won't. It's the only "trick" I've been trying to teach him for two months. He high fives on command but I'm half convinced he'll never clap. He'll just be doing silent claps his whole life.

NikkiD522 · June 2014

No walking .. Does an army crawl, but no actual crawling. Doesn't stop being freaking adorable.

Ashesha13 · June 2014

Not walking, STTN and is not night weaned. No hand actions ie: waving clapping.. Though he waved randomly at the appropriate time but I wouldn't say it's something he regularly does

PB102012 · June 2014

Not walking, doesn't grasp the sippy concept quite yet, and is no longer STTN.

Cocolamo1 · June 2014

Not walking. Not sleeping through the night. No longer napping in his crib. Just started cutting a tooth yesterday... And he's a late July baby!

azzy1206 · June 2014

Not walking
Or crawling
No clapping
Not really eating any foods
Mostly milk.
Doesn't sleep through the night yet.
And she doesn't really sign any words anymore.

MissyCee · June 2014

She doesn't clap or walk yet.

janneann1127 · June 2014

He's not walking yet. Though I wouldn't expect a whole lot of walkers at this point. He's cruising a bit but not a lot. Mostly stands.
He doesn't really wave or do anything on command.

carrotcake06 · June 2014

Neither are walking. One is waaaaay more vocal than the other but no real words, he will say mama and daddy but I can't tell if he's associating it w us or not. The other one points and waves, kinda. Again, it's likely random. Neither clap.

They'll be ONE in just over 3weeks. Holy shit.

They are both still peanuts.

danadane75 · June 2014

No walking, waving, or playing peekaboo/blow kisses.

She doesnt put herself to sleep or know how to suck from a straw.

kanned0121 · June 2014

My LO was actually born 7/29.. But he's a little delayed in crawling and walking due to having clubfeet. He started crawling right at 10 months, no walking- yet!

BlueJewelM · June 2014

I have an august 24th baby. No walking here, but he has let go of the furniture and taken a step..,and then falls. He can *almost* stand from kneeling without pulling up on furniture. I can tell he has figured out how to do it, but just hasn't got the coordination yet. DS1 started walking when he was 10 months, so I'm expecting a walker soon. DS1 has always been EXTREMELY physical and a daredevil, so it looks like DS2 will be the same. I'll probably start going gray this year.

No waving, no clapping really, no words, he babbles but no mamas or dadas. Just barely 2 teeth. Not a very good pincer grasp at all. Both boys were/are very gross motor but fine motor and verbal looks to be slower.

ludali · June 2014

Not walking yet...but doing well at most other things - eating on own, crawling, pulling up, couch cruising...Mama, Dadda, hi...we swear she said "hi Dadda" last night. The only thing I'm really missing now is a true deep belly giggle - she has a funny laugh, but a real good hearty giggle is what I want!! Oh and no STTN - until last night she did 7:30-9:30, 10-5!!! Of course I was wide awake as of 4 wondering what was going on with her...and my boobs were ACHING.

Edit: and stuck on just 2 bottom teeth...but the teething continues...all the time.

Snowbird7 · June 2014

@BlueJewelM, our babies share a birthday! LO was an Aug. 24th baby, and so far we have:

Zero teeth
Zero crawling
Zero pulling up
Zero sleeping through the night

I'm not worried about it, though. He'll get there eventually. (Although the STTN I'm not so sure. ()

I was due the 24th, but T had otehr ideas!

V&G101808 · June 2014

He doesn't stand on his own (without holding onto stuff) and isn't walking. He also only cruises in his crib or PNP but won't cruise on furniture or holding onto stuff.

He won't hold his own bottle. He's a lazy boy because he has zero trouble handling his sippy.

He doesn't clap but he does wave.

No mama, just dada & papa. Those are really his only words right now. Although I swear he says "hey" and "hi" often!

TrueBeliever925 · June 2014

He was born on the 30th. The only thing he isn't doing is really babbling. I can make out "mama" when he's upset, but that's it.

Awww! J does this "mamamamamamamamamamamamama!" while he's upset. Babies are amazing.

Texasmomma13 · June 2014

Not walking, crawling or running. She can roll but rarely does. She did get up on her knees last weekend, but wasn't sure what to do after that. I'm sure it will come. She does love to stand though.
No sippy cup. She can use one, but we have to take the valve off due to her low suction. So, I just hold it for her. She claps and is working on the waving but it's random, not on command. She says momma but that is it. She also growls and barks, thanks dogs. Also, no cooking, cleaning or sewing. But I'm hoping month 10 changes that.

ETA: we're on tooth #6. So, she appears to be an over acheiver that department at least.

We were sitting on the front porch people watching the other day & S screamed "hey!" Really loud as a kid walked by. I think is was coincidence on her part...but it was loud enough the kid looked over & couldn't tell if I had said it or the baby said it.

Michelle N · June 2014

K doesn't walk, or crawl. He doesn't really pull up to his feet, usually only to his knees unless I'm there for support. He really, really doesn't sleep and it's starting to take a toll on me. I got so irritated last night I had to walk out of the room for a few minutes and leave him with DH, who is basically a stranger at 4am apparently..

thoughtfulmommy · June 2014

I have one of the lazy A13 babies. He barely rolls. No crawling, pulling up, cruising. He will not hold his sippy cup. Heck, I hand feed him all of his meals. I made banana French toast this past weekend and he just points and opens his mouth.

But he can point and grunt at things. And he waves goodbye to visitors (he's not a fan of adults).

Coconuthead · June 2014

This thread is a huge relief to me! My LO isn't

Pulling up
STTN
Eating much solids
Clapping or waving
