Isabelle had hers, but the HV (not our normal one) only checked her weight and height, and observed her sitting up on her own and using the pincher grip which they check, but I questioned my normal HV that Isabelles hips and leg joint weren't checked like my sons at this check 18 months previous. So I've got to go tomorrow and the normal HV will check it all lol!
I think that is all they check for, but I'll update you tomorrow if its any different.

Her weight, height, head circumference were checked. As were her legs & hips.
Whether she can blow raspberries, babble, sit, roll, stand, crawl, hold things with both hands, do the pincer grip errrr, think that was it! Enough though lol x
malkymum - my hv said she would ring me and call around the house to do the checks but this probably varies from place to place I would guess.
lucyah - maybe pheebs will be able to do it by then but if not it's probably nothing to worry about-all babies learn and grow at different speeds.
