Hey all,
I am new here, but this question really got to me. My DS seemed somewhat delayed until he seemed so "un"delayed.
My DS is 22 months.
He didn't talk or babble much until 9 months, and then we didn't believe that he was saying things until 11 months.
At 9 months he was crawling like a pirate, and didn't crawl well until almost 11 months.
He didn't walk until almost 15 months, which seemed very delayed.
However,
At 22 months he jumps with 2 feet off the ground.
We have stopped counting the number of words he knows because he seems to know them all and uses them in sentences.
He has memorized several of his favorite books.
He shoots one handed and two handed baskets.
It seems his physical and verbal abilities have started to progress at a similar rate.
I wonder if progression to milestones is personality driven? I have always described DS as a "watcher," rather than a doer.
Best,
Scalder
