clapping and waving at 7months?
in Baby
i know i shouldnt but my friends little girl is only 2 weeks older than my LO although they were due 5 weeks apart as my LO was 3 weeks early but i am constantly comparing them and she seems to be far more advanced in some of the things she does! She always has been ahead of herself and seemed to skip that tiny sleepy baby stage, had teeth at 3 1/2 months etc etc!!!
They came round to play today and her LO can now clap and wave on command! , she also looks at the clock when my friends says "whats the time?" My ds is nowhere near understanding what i say, but he is a very smiley baby who does not stop giggling! He has been sitting unaided since 5months which was actually before my friends LO i am just concerned as she is the only baby we know of almost exactly the same age...should i be concerned or does she seem quite advanced?

I've never compared grant to anyone but he could sit unaided since 4 1/2, has got two teeth now, babbles constantly, is eating his food like a champ and just crawled for the first time today and he's 7m on the 27th. My friends baby doesn't do half the things he does, but grant was two weeks overdue and she was one week early so technically, there should be three weeks between them.
It may not seem like a lot but beleive me it is! I'll tell my friend grants done something and then a week later her baby has done it.
On another note...when I told my friend grant was crawling, she mentioned I wouldn't be able to leave him alone anymore...so you could argue that your friend is going to be tormented with loads of clapping haha x
I know it's hard not to compare but lik other have said, your LO will catch up! My LO was 2 weeks early and seems to be hitting each milestone but it also means he is growing up quickly! Too quickly! I want him to remain my little baby xx
Enjoy your lo being little. They grow up too fast as it is! Babies progress at their own pace, and don't care what their 'peers' are doing! xx
They all do things at different times and rates and as long as he's happy dont worry. I sometimes wish Dylan would slow down, mithicals right they grow up far too fast!

Hows he getting on with his walker hun?
xxx
They'll just do it when they are ready I reckon. Besides if they did evrything at the exact same time it would be boring telling everyone about it as they'd already know Lol
Dylansmummy-He loves his walker and spends ages standing holding onto the handle...although he also likes to bounce and let go without realising that he will fall over! doh! still the more active he is the better it is for my weight loss plan!!! "every cloud!"
