Does your baby wave, clap and point ?

Question

Are there any babies on here that are 13 months that are still not pointing, waving or clapping ? My son isn’t doing any of these. He will only “clap” when I do but he holds my hands while I clap, if not he’s really not interested. He does look where I point but doesn’t point to things himself, more like poke something he’s looking at in front of him. And 0 waving. Not a wave nor a opening and closing of the hand to kind of say hello.. just wondering if there’s anyone else ?

Answer

No pointing here yet x

Answer

My guy is 13.5 months and points at everything lol. He doesn’t clap and I can’t really tell if what he is doing in waving as it looks more like arm flapping and it’s at random. Sometimes when he sees someone walk by or sometimes at the pets but I don’t think it’s actual waving.

Answer

I have learned that every child is different. My 14 month old is clapping not pointing or waving. He does say baby clearly along with mama, dada, papa, and we’re not sure of NO just yet. When his dad ask where’s my nose he grabs his nose where’s his head he grabs it. I used to be freaked out about not meeting specific things or even language but every child learns differently.

Answer

We clap and wave, but don’t point yet.

Answer

Mine doesn’t wave yet but we never really wave to people. He claps and points a lot.

Answer

Our son does all of these and has for some time, I just suggest working with one thing at a time very consistently. He waves and says “buh bye” or “hi” depending on what we tel him to repeat. Everyone is different.

Answer

No to any of those. But we don't wave very often and we just don't clap or point so he has no social context for those behaviors. He's been sharing and able to pick things up and hand them to us or bring us things for months though.

Answer

No waving or pointing here. He is clapping but only because his sister loves "if you're happy and you know it clap your hands" and he's picked it up from watching her. He's no interest in waving or pointing yet. 
Don't worry, they all have their own interests and do things differently.
