Guest guest Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 Hi, My son is now nearly 9 weeks and I notice no difference in his behavior and the things he is learning to do when comparison to my non DS children. I read a book on children, month by month and what they might be doing at two months of age, such as finding their fingers and trying to put in their mouth, smiling, beginning to laugh, watching faces and following voices,ect........ and Noah seems to be right on schedule. When did it show up for other babies ? Thanks in advance~ Many Blessings to all, Leann and family in Ohio mom to Noah (9weeks) DS In a message dated 9/18/2006 8:41:16 A.M.

She was doing very well until a RX change and then started taking them off again. At her 6 month check up we discovered the RX of the glasses was wrong. They were fixed and she began to wear them again. So have your doctor check the RX to make sure it is correct. Faith’s eyes are so bad she likes wearing her glasses now. ette Mom to Faith (9)DS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 Dear Leann, My little boy is 8 1/2 months old and as of now, there have been no differences when compared to charts. I do think that the PT has been very helpful but, I am not sure if some of the things done are not just instinctual in mommies. In some areas, he is actually ahead of expectation...babbling and rolling over. I attribute this to tummy time and living with three older sisters who talk...ALOT. I do think that I have had to be deliberate in moving him along. By this I mean, I have had to think " Okay, where should he be ?? Is he there? " I did not do this with my other children. When we do things, we talk about what we're doing, what color his clothes are, putting your arm in jacket now, changing your diaper...etc. I'm only a few months ahead of you with this little blessing so, I'm sure others have more advice and maybe can tell you (and me) what their experience is.

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006  I think the first major delays are in walking and then especially talking. sat up early and hit most major milestones on target until then.

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 I agree. With our son he was pretty much on target for everything until it came to walking. He was 18 months old before he started and he still only uses 2 words at almost 19 months. I would say that you should really look into sign language. It has helped us so much to understand what he wants. Well congrats on your little one! `KayKathy <kebis@...> wrote:  I think the first major delays are in walking and then especially talking. sat up early and hit most major milestones on target until then.

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 Gosh, I think walking at 18 months is great! Reece is 18 months and is not crawling and does not say any words.

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 Hello, My Eliza is now 16 months. For her I didn't really notice she was behind until about 9 months gross motor-wise. She would not hands and knees crawl or pull up like my son did at that age. She started hands and knees crawling about 2 months ago and is still a ways off from cruising or standing on her own. But In all other areas she is still closer to the milestone target. She even did a lot of things earlier than typical kids her same age - she started clapping and waving really early. Started doing some signs at 11-12 months. I constantly get comments from her therapists or just other adults that her social skills are ahead of her peers.

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 My brother was/is very active (he's 19 mths). He has always babbled tons (from very early on - couple mths). He did quite a few things "on schedule", so to speak, but he was delayed in a few things. He was able to sit at 9 mths old . . . which is a bit delayed. After we started him on the vitamins at 8 months old, he has been doing new things constantly and picking up in his developmental pace much quicker. I think part of that (the gross motor skills - walking, crawling, sitting, etc) is because his low muscle tone. After we started NTV, his tone improved greatly. He was pulling to stand at 13/14 mths. He crawled (not typical crawl, but his own way of crawling) at 15 mths or so. He walked at 17 1/2 mths. He says a few words and does a few signs. In the talking area, his twin sister (non-DS) isn't even talking very much (few words here and there), so he's about the same on that between the two of them. Every baby is different. For my brother though, I wholeheartedly believe that God has blessed him with progressing very well because of the NTV. He was not doing so hot without the NTV.
