Name: Ay Ski

My DS is 9.5 months old and does not clap wave or point at things !! I will put down a list which he is good at and which one worries me.

He is good at :
1.Smiling , he smiles back and forth , if me and husband are talking and laughing he comes in between and shares smiles and laughter with us , he responds to name ( not frequently though need to call 3-4 times )
2.He babbles (not always)
3.He has good eye contact when we are talking or singing ( when he is playing with toys he does not look at us)
4.When friends or relatives comes initially he will not go but after few minutes he will start smiling and interacting with them
5.He tracks objects he throws his toys and see where it has fallen
6.He pulls himself to standing position and has started cruising little bit
7.If I have a new toy or if Iam eating my food or if anything if I have in my hand he crawls with excitement in his face and comes to me to grab the thing which is in my hand
8.He gets excited when he sees my husband after he comes from office he crawls fast and put up his hands to pick him up. He does the same with me as well .

Things he does that worries me:
1. Assymetrical crawl- crawling with one foot step forward
2.He doesn't respond to us when we go out once we step out of our house he is fully engaged in things around him and how much ever we call he never responds ( hardly he responds). He even checks out people and sometimes smile at them which I believe is a good sign but he rarely responds to us.
3.when playing with toys he never looks at me
4.Does not clap or communicate with gestures, if I point to something he does not see that

Iam really worried does any of your kids are or were in the same boat .?
