Is my baby the only one that can't...
Crawl or stand?
Just seen the pictures of Mrs P's daughter on F-book, Abigail was born on the same day and she seems to be no where near crawling or standing.

I wouldnt worry, all babies develop at a different rate xx
Every baby develops at their own pace and will reach the little milestones when they are good and ready. I wouldn't worry.
She is just an impatient so and so!!!

As the other ladies have said each baby does everything at their own pace. Cam is nowhere near crawling, but my friends son who is 12 days older than Cam is zooming around the place on his hands and knees! But at the same time Cam is way ahead with his verbal development but my friends baby is about where he should be, they've just got different skills! They are all different but they'll all end up with the same skills at somepoint! x
My best friends baby is 10 days younger than Lyvi and has been crawling around everywhere for a few weeks now and is pulling herself up on everything, which Lyvi doesn't do, but hardly ever smiles, rarely laughs and can't babble like Lyvi or use a spoon to feed herself! They just have different skills.
Also it can depend on other factors like the size of the baby. Very small babies tend to reach the physical milestones later because they just don't have the muscle mass like bigger babies. My HV was very surprised at how Lyvi can sit up so well and has been rolling over since 12 weeks (corrected) because she's SO tiny!
They will all get there in their own time and who cares if they're first, second or last to do so! As long as they're happy and healthy )
Love NN xx
She has though spend hours carpet swimming in the last week since she worked out how to get on her belly!
i tell myself her energy goes into growing all her teeth!

He's definitely sitting and moving much later than my daughter did but then she wouldn't have fingerfoods until 10 months or feed herself with a spoon until 15 months where as Sebastian does both really well for his age.
A friend once said to me (when I panicked because dd still didn't have any teeth at 10 months) that when they get to school they can all walk, all talk, all have teeth and (normally) all potty trained.
DD is now quite in front with most things (she's 3 in Sept) despite being 4 weeks prem but whereas all my friends now have to tie their daughters hair back in long flowing ponytails we still haven't had to have a haircut!!!!!!!!!!!
In relation to crawling, he lays his head down and tries to get a knee up. Or puts his arms underneath him out straight. just need him to do both together.
James can hold his weight on his legs really well.
As the other ladies have rightly said, babies progress at their own speed. Some things come quicker than others, some they skip completely.
I'm always comparing James with my friend's lo who is 22 days older. She can sit unaided, and crawl. She's got 2 teeth, she's weaned further. But at the end of the day, James is mine and he'll beat her at something one day. ;\) Seriously though, James is friendly and smiley, what more could I want?! xx
she can sit but preferes to be rolling around. she can stand with support-she lets go for some unknown reason as she has no balance what so ever!!
she has 2 teeth at the bottom. lizzie can get onto her hands and knees and rocks but doesnt move anywhere!
I seem to find myself comparing her to my best friends baby who is 5 weeks older than lizzie. they are both the cutest baby girls in the world (ofcourse i say that her mummys my best friend!!) my bf's baby can crawl and is really strong on her legs and says dada ect and also holds her own bottle-all of which lizzie doesnt do but lizzie sleeps all night which for me is bliss and something i wouldnt want to exchange for being able to crawl right now,lol
Im sure once my bf's babys teeth cut she will sleep better(the poor baby has been suffering and her poor mummy feeling the stress of it) and im also sure one day lizzie will crawl but they will decide when they do these things and its this sort of thing that makes them individual xx
