...should be able to:
- get into a sitting position from stomach ... check
- pick up tiny object with any part of thumb and finger ... check
- understand "no" (but not always obey it) ... check and check
...will probably be able to:
- play patty-cake (clap hands) or wave bye-bye ... check
- walk holding on to furniture (cruise) ... check
- point or gesture to something to get needs met ... check
...may possibly be able to:
- pick up a tiny object neatly with tips of thumb and forefinger ... I think check
- stand alone momentarily ... check, but then when he figures it out, he sits back down again
- say "dada" or "mama" discriminately ... no check
- say one word other than "mama" or "dada" ... no check
...may even be able to:
- stand alone well ... no check
- indicate wants in way other than crying ... like what?
- "play ball" (roll ball back to you) ... check
- drink from a cup independently ... check, if it counts that he's in the tub and drinking bathwater :) He's very good at it.
- use immature jargoning (gibberish that sounds as if baby is talking a made-up foreign language) ... check - he babbles a lot, just not words that we understand
- say three or more words other than "mama" or "dada" ... no check
- respond to a one-step command without gestures ... check, sometimes anyway
- walk well ... no check
