Parents of late walkers/talkers…what happened!
My son is 13 months and before everybody jumps down my throat and says that he is not delayed please understand that I know as of right now he is not delayed and I am a physical therapist and I have a decent understanding of motor development and I know that he is nowhere near walking. He is not my first child and while I understand you shouldn’t compare children…He is in physical therapy currently (since 7months) to help with motor skills. His PT has stated that he has generalized low tone and seems to just be on the later end of most motor skills. And even the physical therapist has said that he probably won’t walk for a few more months! Currently he can pull to stand, cruise, and crawl like a maniac.
As far as talking we have the basic mama, dada, uh oh. Not much else. Not really worried about speech development though! But curious generally.
Just curious if your baby was on the later end of walking 16-18 months or a later talker, if they caught up by 2 or if anything came of their development.
I am very eager for my baby to turn into a toddler if I’m honest with you! He is a big boy and I have a 2 1/2 year-old. It has been difficult to divide my time since the moment he entered the world and I feel like once he is communicating and walking, he will be able to interact more with my toddler and maybe just be a happier kiddo (he’s a cranky mamas boy as far as temperament!)
