She has a pretty strong core.</p> <p>My son is delayed physically (always has been). But he's getting better. Core exercises has really helped a lot. His lower body strength is fine but it's his core and upper body that needs some help, which is probably why he's uncoordinated.</p> <p>We have him sit on an exercise ball for kids while he's coloring or watching TV. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-little-one-physically-advanced-or-delayed#post-1886318 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 15:10:20 +0000 Smurfette 1886318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Average overall. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-little-one-physically-advanced-or-delayed#post-1886311 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 15:05:09 +0000 HLK208 1886311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is pretty average now that he's 5.5 (he hit all the physical milestones early as a baby). DD is average in some aspects (she started walking at 12 months) but advanced in others (shes been able to jump since 18 months)...she's always hit all of her milestones when shes suppose to though. DD2 already seems advanced (she's been lifting her head high since she was a few days old). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-little-one-physically-advanced-or-delayed#post-1886287 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 14:39:01 +0000 babynumber1 1886287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO has always developed earlier than her classmates. She potty trained early and talks really well. She also walked and crawled early. However, she is CLUMSY. She constantly falls and walks into walls. Her balance is definitely not as advanced as other children. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-little-one-physically-advanced-or-delayed#post-1886284 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 14:37:12 +0000 Ra 1886284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Average! He was a little delayed with some fine motor and a little ahead with gross motor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-little-one-physically-advanced-or-delayed#post-1886265 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 14:27:57 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1886265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think both were average. DD is just more on the cautious side, but she was able to do most milestones on track. DS army crawled on the early side, but then didn't sit up until later... and both kids walked at 13.5 months! So they varied within a range of normal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-little-one-physically-advanced-or-delayed#post-1886169 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 13:46:16 +0000 LuLu Mom 1886169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd say average, she is just a clumsy kid. She can climb/jump but constantly falls down (sadly like her mother.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-little-one-physically-advanced-or-delayed#post-1886167 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 13:45:30 +0000 sarac 1886167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 3 year old was on the very slowest end of normal for her physical milestones, but now she's caught up quite well. She was just cautious, I think, about doing things for the first time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-little-one-physically-advanced-or-delayed#post-1886160 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 13:41:50 +0000 keepcalmcarrie 1886160@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ElbieKay: Haha, I was kind of happy J was later with mobility. DH and many in his family were walking at 9 months, and that just sounds like my nightmare! I'd like all my babies to be stationary for as long as possible ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-little-one-physically-advanced-or-delayed#post-1886158 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 13:41:45 +0000 MrsTiz 1886158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Perfectly average! As soon as I start to worry about why he can't XYZ he does it the next day. I'd say he's average/a tad behind in language though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-little-one-physically-advanced-or-delayed#post-1886156 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 13:40:41 +0000 travellingbee 1886156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He is pretty advanced. He was always on the advanced end of average but now he has started really advancing quickly. He sat at about 4 months, crawled at 7ish, walked at 10 months but by 15/16 months he could jump with both feet off of the ground, do sommersaults on his own (we never taught him that!) dribble a soccer ball across a field, hit a large ball pitched to him with a bat etc. I guess part of it is hand-eye coordination. His talking is pretty average though.</p> <p>ETA: Least fun development--early to climb out of crib :( :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-little-one-physically-advanced-or-delayed#post-1886149 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 13:37:04 +0000 ElbieKay 1886149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son became a fluent crawler last week at 6.5 months old, and he can also pull himself to standing in his crib. So, I think he's a little early. It sucks because now we have to chase him around! I was hoping he would stay immobile for a bit longer for the convenience! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-little-one-physically-advanced-or-delayed#post-1886141 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 13:30:58 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1886141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Physically advanced! He crawled at 6 months, walked at 9 months and jumped with two feet very early. He has always been ahead in gross and fine motor. He has speech delay and seems to have some very minor sensory issues but physically he has never had any issue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-little-one-physically-advanced-or-delayed#post-1886122 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 13:22:54 +0000 keepcalmcarrie 1886122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>J has always been on the later side of average. He army-crawled at 7 months, crawled at 11 months, walked at 14 months. He's now starting to run and jump at 18 months. He's always been a climber, too, but he's generally pretty cautious. He is a big baby about falls, bumps, and bruises though - like, sobbing if he bumps his head on the arm roll of our couch. Very dramatic! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-little-one-physically-advanced-or-delayed#post-1886095 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 13:14:31 +0000 RsMom 1886095@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think he's average but is still clumsy at almost 2.5. I believe this is because he has poor eyesight, so without his glasses he's more prone to have accidents. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-little-one-physically-advanced-or-delayed#post-1886066 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 13:05:13 +0000 rachiecakes 1886066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coopsmama: your LO sounds like my J! I didn't get much time where he wasn't mobile, haha - he was even busting out of swaddles in the hospital.<br /> J just started really talking at 2.5. He had lots of words but wouldn't really put them together, now (2.9) he sings songs, speaks sentences, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-little-one-physically-advanced-or-delayed#post-1886060 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 13:02:49 +0000 rachiecakes 1886060@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely advanced physically, and his hand-eye coordination is off the charts good.<br /> Verbally on the low side of average - every time I think he's delayed, he catches up to average in that department. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-little-one-physically-advanced-or-delayed#post-1886053 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 13:00:04 +0000 Mrs. Twine 1886053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ellie was delayed in everything but some fine motor. Ironically, she now does OT once/week for fine motor related to writing. She was also very cautious and perfectionistic (still is) so some of the "delays" were compounded by the fact that she didn't want to do any of it at all until she was feeling pretty confident.</p> <p>Lorelei has been very advanced in everything. Especially verbal, but she is also quite advanced for fine and gross motor as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-little-one-physically-advanced-or-delayed#post-1886045 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 12:57:21 +0000 catlady 1886045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think she is a bit advanced with physical milestones but nothing crazy. She was walking pretty well by 11 months. She's average verbally. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-little-one-physically-advanced-or-delayed#post-1886021 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 12:45:42 +0000 yoursilverlining 1886021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think she’s average. She walked later on the scale of average at 16 months, but that isn’t a true “delay”. </p> <p>LO is so freaking cautious when physical behavior that it’s hard to tell what she physically can do and can’t do vs. what she just *won’t* do. Like, at 27 months, she won’t walk up a flight of stairs by herself (has to hold hands, will only attempt it alone by holding onto a handrail if its like 5 steps or less, will NOT attempt it by herself with holding onto a handrail if more than 5 steps), and she doesn’t run for real (she will walk fast and happily announce “I’m running! I’m running!) but I don’t think there is any physical reason she isn’t doing those things. She just doesn’t want to. So, I don’t think that’s a delay either, just stubbornness. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-little-one-physically-advanced-or-delayed#post-1886015 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 12:43:04 +0000 coopsmama 1886015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Physically quite advanced. He was walking at 9 months and running by ten. He has great coordination and fine motor skills, too. It's amazing! </p> <p>Verbally he is delayed though - no real words at almost 16 months. I'm starting to get a little worried! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-little-one-physically-advanced-or-delayed#post-1885974 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 12:29:31 +0000 pinkcupcake 1885974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She is pretty advanced. She has great coordination and balance, and climbs like a monkey. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-little-one-physically-advanced-or-delayed#post-1885961 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 12:25:50 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1885961@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Verbally I think she is average, but physically....maybe a bit advanced?</p> <p>She is super quick, is an amazing climber, could jump before her peers, and is just generally very coordinated and balanced. It amazes me what that girl can do on a huge, "big kid-sized" jungle gym! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-little-one-physically-advanced-or-delayed#post-1885959 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 12:25:35 +0000 blackbird 1885959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think E is advanced in her physical capabilities. Now if I could get the girl to talk...heh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-little-one-physically-advanced-or-delayed#post-1885953 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 12:24:03 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 1885953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think he's average.

I would have said advanced in his first year, but I think it's evened out at this point. He is a better climber than most kids his age, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-little-one-physically-advanced-or-delayed#post-1885940 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 12:21:22 +0000 mediagirl 1885940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right on target, I think? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-little-one-physically-advanced-or-delayed#post-1885937 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 12:20:22 +0000 lawbee11 1885937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: Same. </p>
