Guest guest Posted May 17, 2000 Report Share Posted May 17, 2000 Ok, I know where you are coming from Laurie. Grace just started crawling (she turns 10 months...oh gosh TOMORROW!). She was slow to sit, slow to roll, slow to crawl. And she was a HUGE HEAD! I know what your doctor means by " just enough wrong to make him second guess himself. " But, in Grace's case, between her tort, her HUGE HEAD, and the fact she's just plain ole' chunky seemed to be what was slowing her down. There's also a firm connection between prone sleeping and delayed gross motor skills. But the kids seem to catch up by the time they are 18 months or so. I believe there is a link to that paper in the Links section at the community site. Grace was also noted to refuse to put weight on her legs in her PT evals until this last month or so. So, don't worry! Micah is going to be fine!!! He's just taking his time Your doctor is checking things out and keeping on top of stuff (hooray!). I know it's easier said than done. I've done way more than my share of obsessing about Grace's development, or lack thereof.
