What all is your baby doing?

Question

My son is 9 months and seems to be a little behind in gross motor skills (from pediatrician, but he wasn’t worried), he answers to his name rarely/sometimes, can army crawl, but can’t seem to move from all 4’s. I know every baby is different, and I try not to worry about it too much. I’m just curious on if anyone else is in a similar phase?

Answer

Mine will be 9 months next week and he’s been walking and screaming mama all day long since about 7 months lol 
Zero teeth though

Answer

My 9 month old (10th is birthday) can only army crawl. He responds to his name but I think it’s more because it’s like a game. Like instead of saying “boo” we say his name. He has just started to kinda say “mama”. He is just now even putting weight on his knees and only if I help him. He has started to pull up on things but needs help to actually do so. He doesn’t wave goodbye or even sit up without assistance to not topple over. 
I follow “the movement mama” on Instagram and find her stuff super helpful. I’ve mentioned it a few times on here but I really do like her content and she actually responded to several messages I’ve sent about my baby’s development. It’s been a big help. She just did some stuff on crawling and what to do if baby only army crawls. I implemented several tips and I’m noticing a lot of improvement.

Answer

My son turns 10 months on Friday. He always responds to his name but he doesn't give a flying heck about physical things. Doesn't crawl and doesn't want to because he knows he can just roll everywhere. Isn't standing. His brothers were crawling and standing for a couple of months by his age. I'm not worried about him, though. I'm just glad he responds to his name, tbh. My 2 y/o (ASD) still doesn't respond to his name and it is really a difficult thing.

Answer

He's crawling, and attempting to stand on his own. His choice 🤣
He's very talkative and some things make a lot of sense but I'm pretty sure it's accidental.

Answer

My son just turned 9 months on the 13th and he’s doing about the same. He used to respond to his name all the time but now he rarely does. I think it’s because he’s so focused on learning all these new things he’s just too distracted. He’s also only army crawling and can’t figure out how to crawl on all 4s. He had his 9 month check up yesterday and his pediatrician wasn’t concerned about it at all. All he said was that he should be walking by 15 months. I honestly wouldn’t worry too much. You’re doing a great job and your baby will figure it all out when they’re ready.

Answer

My daughter will be 9 months in a week & she babbles a lot & says mama. Crawls fast & is constantly pulling herself up on everything she can. 
No teeth yet though.

Answer

My first never army crawled or regular crawled... we had to teach him how to get from laying down to sitting on his own. I think around 10/11 months he started to pull up on things and walked on his own at 11/12 months. So I definitely wouldn't worry about crawling. I know hard to do! I did all the time hah.

Answer

Walking and climbing for about a week now. Turned 9 months on the 6th. Babbling consonants, no intentional “words” yet

Answer

My son is turned 9 months on the 3rd and he’s pulling him self up on everything and cruising.

Answer

My son didn't crawl until 2 weeks after he turned 9 months and now its nonstop. I was worried too but he just decided it was time to crawl one day on his own. My doctor wasn't worried at all at 9 month appt when I said he wasn't crawling yet,  he told me to baby proof bc he will in next month and he was right.
