Guest guest Posted July 18, 2003 Report Share Posted July 18, 2003 I would agree-- All through his first baby checkups, Jake's head was smaller than normal (which didn't fit with the fact he was in the top 95% for height and 75% for weight). Then, I think it was around 2, but could have been a little later, his head got much larger, even though his height & weight slowed. Now he is like top 75% for head circumference (maybe bigger) but only top 50% for height and is actually bottom 25% for weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 18, 2003 Report Share Posted July 18, 2003 Bradley used to do the " commando crawl " . He looked like a soldier crawling around on his belly. He would lay flat on his stomach and push himself forward with his elbows and knees or feet. But always stayed low to the grown. Not up on all fours. He started walking when he was 11 mos old. Ally was standing up at 7 mos and walking on her own at 9 mos. (and she was the one I was worried about-haha) it figures Dawn > Dear Roxanna and others: > Owen had a large head from birth.

I'm not sure that they did by the standards someone else posted though. And their heads did look proportionate to their bodies. I had big babies, esp for someone my size. Both my boys are PDD. Yet Hunter was a mover. He had no problems w/ head control, crawling, etc. was the opposite. His head though proportionate seemed too much for him to hold up. I really worried about him. He took his time hitting those milestones. Both have low muscle tone. I guess I think this is interesting, but my kids never seem to fit any profile like that. One may, but never both. It always leaves me confused. a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 18, 2003 Report Share Posted July 18, 2003 was my " early " walker at 16-1/2 months. Tess, his sister, didn't walk until she was 19 months. She never fell down or was unsteady. Just one day, she stood up and walked from one end of the house to the other.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2003 Report Share Posted July 18, 2003 Hunter walked shortly after his first b-day. He was walking for months prior w/ just a finger or two for support. He was kinda scared of letting go. walked between 15 and 16 months. And stayed looking unsteady for another 15 months. a > was my " early " walker at 16-1/2 months.
