Quiet 11 month old....

Li

My boy will be 11 months old soon and although he’s my first and don’t really know anyone else with babies so I’ve nothing to compare to I feel he’s quite quiet. My mom has obviously said so to my sister which annoyed me too.

He walked really early before 9 months and he does babble daily just very not often and quite happily sits playing with his bricks etc quietly. He will run round screaming occasionally too don’t get me wrong 😂 He’s tried to say a few words I think but nothing firm. If I ask him ‘where’s daddy’ he looks at his dad and same for our dog but doesn’t yet say things like ball etc tho I repeat them daily. He does kind of talk back to me if I try conversation with him. He doesn’t wave bye yet or point with one finger but kind if reaches out with his whole hand when I carry him if he wants something. He does reach up when he wants picking up but he’s not very cuddly.

Mostly I worry cause he doesn’t really turn when I call his name, maybe once or twice out of 10 and always seems too interested in what he’s doing and although I can make him laugh I read babies should smile at you when you smile at them and he can but mostly doesn’t.... I wonder if it’s just because he’s so forward with walking and moving etc he’s just too busy exploring to pay attention to me?

Any opinions would be great, I’m a worrier and I feel like I could be overthinking things after reading too much on google....
