She's ahead on some, behind on others. I don't really know if she's behind though. If I compare her to babies who walked before they turned one, then she's behind. She started walking 10 days shy of 13 months!

I guess she is ahead. We had her 2 year check up and the doctor asked a few questions about speech and DD seems way ahead.

LO is ahead on somethings, but also behind on others. Actually, like @chopsuey119: said, I don't think it's so much she is behind but compared to other babies I know she does some things less/later.

He's been ahead on most verbal milestones, but on track or slightly behind on physical milestones.

He's ahead on gross and fine motor skills and behind on verbal.

Both kids have been ahead; I think we have another early talker on our hands because DS started cooing and gurgling really early.

Up to the 12 month mark DS was pretty much on time for verbal milestones and on time or a little behind on physical milestones. He's 95% for height and weight, so I've heard he might be slower on some physical milestones because it's harder for him to be coordinated with his size with the extra weight to carry around.

He was very early with holding his head up and head control, on time to roll over, slow to sit up on his own, slow to crawl, and slow to walk it seems. (He's almost 14 months and not standing or walking independently yet.) He also doesn't clap but otherwise his motor control is great. He smacks his hands down, rather than together, when he's excited. He can (kind of) brush his teeth on his own, though we haven't really tried having him use utensils to eat.

He babbles a lot and made a bunch of different sounds early. He understands some words (up, down, dinner, food, bottle, outside, no, mama, daddy, and book). He sometimes seems to respond to commands, like bring me a book, but other times ignores us if it's not what he wants to do. He's not really using words yet, though I think he's really close.

I avoid looking at the charts, but it's hard not to compare to other kids close to his age. For everything he seems to be slow doing, he's doing something else that he seems to be ahead with, so I'm trying not to worry.

Somewhat ahead. I'm grateful that I don't have something to worry about in this department, since I tend to think about this a lot.

She used to be on schedule, but she's fallen behind. At her nine month apt they asked if she claps her hands (now she kind of does at 10 months), crawls (she army crawls), climbs furniture (starting to do that now too), etc. She has such a big belly I'm sure it's hard for her to lift it up to do a lot of that stuff!
