You must've been SHOCKED! I would be totally shocked if I heard my son say a complete sentence. Right now, all I'm hoping for is a few more words! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-worried-about-any-developmental-delays#post-337375 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 23:48:01 +0000 brownie 337375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Yoyo: Well, today daddy pulled out the camera and he said "cheese" very clearly. So, almost immediately after saying I worried, he pulls that out of his hat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-worried-about-any-developmental-delays#post-336950 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 20:52:05 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 336950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsMini: yeah you never want to see a 6.3 or something like that. Cord pH s are notoriously unreliable though and you surely know too much! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-worried-about-any-developmental-delays#post-336360 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 18:35:20 +0000 MsMini 336360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: Yeah, I actually wish that I wouldn't have grabbed the chart and saw the cord pH ... the ped told me he didn't think it was accurate, but the number was super scary! It is hard to let go for sure, so far he has been on time with his milestones though, so it helps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-worried-about-any-developmental-delays#post-335153 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 11:31:05 +0000 Mrs. Train 335153@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: nope no speech therapy. He just doesn't say much. I was really worried at his three year old check up (because my twins who are 8 months younger were talking more) but our pediatrician said he was fine. </p> <p>When he was 2.5 he barely said mama and dada regularly but one day when my husband was away on business he walked up to me and said mommy where is daddy? I was shocked. He wouldn't say little things but said a whole long sentence together, so I just figured when he has something to say he will say it. I started changing some of my behavior though and asking him to say more. Trying to not respond to just his grunts even though I knew what he wanted. </p> <p>Now that he has started preschool there has been a big jump too. He will be four in a month. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-worried-about-any-developmental-delays#post-335149 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 11:25:29 +0000 Mrs. Bee 335149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>charlie pretty much hit all his milestones on average so i wasn't too worried about him. he did have this phase when he was around 1 where he kept hitting his head that worried me, but apparently that's common and he grew out of it. i don't worry about him at all now.</p> <p>olive, i try not to compare, but i do worry. she is way behind physically. she is still belly crawling at 1 year, she isn't cruising -- all milestones charlie hit by 7 months. i know plenty of kids who were late with physical milestones so i don't worry about that too much.</p> <p>she is babbling, but charlie did understand a lot more commands at her age. it's still too early to tell if she's delayed with speech, but it's something i definitely think about! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-worried-about-any-developmental-delays#post-335061 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 10:45:24 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 335061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@caffeinated: 7-9 months is the outside edge for consonant vowel babbling like dadadada or babababa. At 9 months, I'll probably push for a speech eval... Though she vocalizes in other ways and I think she's getting there, it would be great to have extra support to help! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-worried-about-any-developmental-delays#post-335020 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 10:24:43 +0000 Freckles 335020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is doing great in her physical milestones but i get so worried about her speech, whether she's babbling or not. I hate those charts because they just get you worried! Then i get even more anxious when people comment on how quiet LO is for a 6 month old. Talk about stress central.</p> <p>@Mrs. Jacks: is it at the 9 month mark where you should be concerned about babbling? my LO isn't really even saying much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-worried-about-any-developmental-delays#post-335005 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 10:20:20 +0000 yin 335005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is 17 months old and just started really talking last week. I was so worried at first but then let go a bit. I keep adding to his list of words and we're over 20 now. I know that he will talk at his own pace and when he is ready. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-worried-about-any-developmental-delays#post-334916 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 09:44:06 +0000 pinkcupcake 334916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, I don't mean to worry but I can't help it. L wasn't sitting up very well until recently (she's 7.5 months old) and I noticed a slight head lag until she was about 7 months old. When I freaked out to our ped, she laughed at me (in a nice way) and told me not to worry so much. It's so hard not to, though, especially when you're surrounded by babies all the same age... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-worried-about-any-developmental-delays#post-334625 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 05:58:58 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 334625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsMini: the curse of the mama who knows too much! I'm glad you are able to let go and let Sawyer be. My pediatrician thinks I'm a freak. She forbids me to bring up the babbling issue until 9 months, but I'm having a hard time letting it go! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-worried-about-any-developmental-delays#post-334599 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 02:56:12 +0000 Rosie Girl 334599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD is almost 8 months old and still can't really sit up. If you balance her just right she can, but if she gets off balance she just tips over. :S </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-worried-about-any-developmental-delays#post-334574 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 01:23:05 +0000 SugarplumsMom 334574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Before she was even born, I read all about autism. She's still really young, but so far she hasn't shown any of the signs that I've read about. She's even a little advanced, except for not wanting to roll over. I'm expecting her to be a little delayed with speaking because we're starting her off bilingual, but it doesn't worry me at all. </p> <p>I know that a few weeks or months might seem like a lot now, but I feel like she'll catch up. It seems all babies are different with early developmental milestones. The range for normal seems like a really wide margin and taking longer doesn't mean there's anything wrong. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-worried-about-any-developmental-delays#post-334531 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 00:06:30 +0000 banana 334531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oceanis723: I'm hoping my son will start talking by the time he's 3. Right now he only says around 10 words and he's 2 1/2! He's very delayed. But he understands everything we say and he babbles/jargons all day long. He just won't talk! I'm hoping it's just a speech delay and nothing else. Did your son receive speech therapy? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-worried-about-any-developmental-delays#post-334389 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 20:42:32 +0000 MsMini 334389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I kept a close eye on it at first because Sawyer's cord pH was really terrible, but once he met the first couple milestones on time I don't stress about it. I just like to concentrate on letting my baby be my baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-worried-about-any-developmental-delays#post-334360 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 20:11:46 +0000 tequiero21 334360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i don't like to but it's easy to when u have twins to compare.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-worried-about-any-developmental-delays#post-334346 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 19:51:41 +0000 heffalump 334346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always worry. People always say that they either walk or talk.... but my LO isn't doing either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-worried-about-any-developmental-delays#post-334307 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 19:19:21 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 334307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@brownie: Interesting. Most of LO's babbling (15 mos, almost 16) is just B- and D-sounds. He says Dada. That's about it. It's weird ... there were short periods where he said bath/ball ... but then he stopped. No Mama, still. Sigh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-worried-about-any-developmental-delays#post-334299 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 19:11:19 +0000 brownie 334299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am always worried. My husband thinks I have autistic tendencies and a good friend of ours son is very high functioning autistic. I watch what he does and my son and compare. I try to remember what it was like when they were little. My LO doesn't talk much and ultimately only says B and D starting words (Daddy, Doggy, Bubba, Bubbles, Ball). He also says More, Eat, Ma ma. But I feel like he is so far behind with speech. Then again he can already jump with 2 feet (at 17 months old). So he is advanced physically. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-worried-about-any-developmental-delays#post-334297 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 19:08:54 +0000 Maysprout 334297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not really. My daughter has a few little friends who have personalities like hers - def more physical than verbal. The other two parents have had their pediatricians mention they might test them at 2 yo if they don't start saying some more actual words. My LO is a couple months younger so we haven't had that talk yet but it seems silly to me. They are all super social little girls and a smart little bunch with how they put stuff together so I just figure the word explosion will happen. We do try to read to her a lot and make sure to point out what the names are for different things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-worried-about-any-developmental-delays#post-334268 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 18:50:36 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 334268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think we may also have a late talker on our hands. Of course, I hope it's only that. Pedi is not yet concerned, but of course I'm a bit worried. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-worried-about-any-developmental-delays#post-334259 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 18:48:31 +0000 jennylynn 334259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our LO is 6 months old and isn't rolling yet. It kind of concerns me, but she seems right on track otherwise, so I'm trying not to focus on it too much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-worried-about-any-developmental-delays#post-334229 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 18:27:50 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 334229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>M. is a late babbler. I'm trying to not put too much weight in it since she's so physically focused. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-worried-about-any-developmental-delays#post-334223 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 18:21:30 +0000 Mrs. Train 334223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My oldest was a late talker too. He's just fine once he got to three he was caught up. He is at the lower end of normal but still in the normal range. I do worry a lot but I can't help it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-worried-about-any-developmental-delays#post-334182 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 17:52:54 +0000 banana 334182@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 2 1/2 year old son is speech delayed and we're getting him speech therapy to try to get him caught up by kindergarten. This whole experience has gotten me so much more on edge with my daughter, making sure her development is right on track. And she's only 10 weeks old!</p> <p>Are there any areas of development in your LO that you're worried about? </p>
