Okay I've been quite cheerful about this so far, thinking Alex is just going at his own pace and he'll get there eventually, but it's really getting a bit daft now.
He's going to be 1 soon and he still can't stand up.
He bum shuffles around the room, but that's literally all he does. He doesn't show any sign of getting interested in pulling himself up, and when I hold him in a standing position over the floor he deliberately lifts his legs up and WONT put his feet on the floor, so I just end up sort of swinging him about!
If I hold him in a standing position over my knees, he does put a little pressure on his legs standing on my knees, but it only lasts about 2 seconds and then he bobs up and down a few times with his legs and then flumps back down into a sitting position, as though he's all tired out from that tiny bit of effort he's just put into bobbing!
Do you think he's just taking his time, or do you reckon it's worth taking him to be checked out incase there's something wrong with his legs or something!?
Lydia was 8 months old when she pulled herself up, and by this age she was very competently cruising about. She was walking solo at 12.5 months.
Alex seems so uncoordinated in comparison.
