She is cognitively on track -- maybe ahead! This little booger smiles and coos and says da da and ma ma and she can take her little hair brush and brush her hair when we give it to her. It's precious. :)

Love my girl. Just want her to be alright! We are setting up time for the PT pros to come over this week.

and to clarify about the 'pulling up.' If she is sitting down she can't pull herself up or use furniture or anything else as things to lean on, etc. If i hold out my hands and give her my fingers and give her a slight pull up she can stand no problem. Standing really isn't an issue at all for her if I'm holding her up. Her legs seem very strong! She loves to scoot around in her little walker.

You're over-thinking if the doctors don't have an issue.

I had one kid walking around at 10 mos and another that didn't walk until 15 mos. They are 16 and 12 years old now, healthy, intelligent, etc.

Unless your doctor has noticed something abnormal, just be the dad you are. Kids develop on their own time-table.

Like has already been stated, all kids develop at a different pace. She is likely gonna be just fine, especially if cognitively she is meeting all of her goals. I definitely understand your concern though. Good luck

I don't think there is anything wrong. She sounds perfectly fine, if not ahead of the curve cognitively at 11 mos.

I think you are just being the stereotypical overprotective dad. It's your first kid. What you are experiencing is common.

Hell, I've studied this stuff and I expect myself to freak out when I end up having a kid.

Just remember, the timetables that they reference are averages. They aren't set in stone.
