Isn't crawling, standing alone without intense supervision, or sleeping all night. He also doesn't have any teeth. Babies say words other than mama, dada and nonsense sounds that you might think are other words at 9-10 months? Mind blown.

There are babies who GO TO SLEEP ON THEIR OWN?!?!
My baby is not:
-going to sleep ever day or night without intense coercion -staying asleep for longer than 2-3 hour increments, TOPS. -getting into any kind of routine no matter how hard I work to implement one -standing unassisted -initiating games? Is anyone's baby doing this now? I think we all said this one! -playing games even if I initiate them, unless you count rolling a ball back and forth but she doesn't know where it's going or have any control over where she sends it so... thats mostly me playing that game lol! -growing hair -showing any signs of more teeth since the 2 bottoms that popped up 2 months ago -I'm sure I could think of so many more
This list has helped a lot, although I'm still kind of worried my kid will have to roll into kindergarten because that's the only way he knows how to move and his poor teacher will have to spoon feed him because although he can pick up food just fine he has NO IDEA AT ALL that it's supposed to go in his mouth.

M isn't:
-crawling or army crawling on his own. -pulling up to stand -cruising furniture -saying any words yet. -holding a bottle or sippy cup. -sleeping past 5 am. -waving or clapping. -initiating peek-a-boo (he did this once a few weeks ago and never again).
I'm also in the group that feels that even if LOs say mama, baba, etc its highly unlikely for them to use it with meaning and as true words this early. But I guess there could be genius babies?

Ditto this being incredibly helpful and reassuring to read! Thanks everyone!
Oscar is 10 months and not - crawling (at all) - able to go from stomach to sitting - Saying any intelligible words - Using a sippy - standing (unless heavily supervised) - clapping/waving/etc - stacking rings ONTO the ring thing (can't remember whose baby did that but my mind was blown!!)
Like others have said, He's super clingy if I'm around, but if I'm outa the house he's good.

V does look at H, or hear him talking, and say "dada". He'll babble with those syllables otherwise ("da-da-da-da"), but does seem to have assigned "dada" exclusively to H. He also uses "hi" accompanied by a wave, though usually only after one of us has done so first.
I only bring this up as an anecdotal case of language this early, because I feel like an ass to mention this, but I had a vocabulary of over 100 words and was speaking in 3-4 word sentences by the time I was a year old. My aunt said that she used to visit with us and would go home and cry because my cousin, who was a year older, was barely talking. I'm certainly not a genius, but did develop language early that I understood and could use efficiently.
budders I was like that as a baby too. The doctor attributed my early talking to the fact that I was severely burned and the bandaging slowed my mobility so I had to ask for things. My mom said that by ten months I was asking for things and even using "please".

I don't know that a baby needs to be a genius in order to show some word/meaning association around now. Somebody might be saying "clap your hands" over and over as they also clap their hands, and then baby starts to claps their hands, and then baby starts to mimic the word clap. Does baby actually "know" that the word they are mimicking and the action they are mimicking are the same thing or go together? Who knows. I don't even think genius adults know this.
periwinkledaydreams Every time LO drops something I usually say "uh ohhhhhhh" in a very exaggerated way. LO has started repeating me but he's only making the sound, and it's after I say it first. Same with "hi". When we walk in a room of new people they all say "hiiiiiii!!!" And then he will essentially repeat it. So I don't count them as words yet. But this is so different from DS, he wasn't verbal at all at this age.

I think that's great and I'm not denying that some babies develop language much earlier than the typical timeframes.
I also think that sometimes it's easy to confuse babbling with intent ( not saying that's true for you or V).
T will be 11 months in a few days and is almost 10 months adjusted.
She is not: Crawling (but finally showing interest) Pulling up on her own (except for on our hands/fingers) Standing on her own Moving from laying to sitting Sleeping through the night Sleeping in her crib (she starts in the PNP in our room and usually ends up in our bed at some point)
B isn't... -clapping -standing unassisted -crawling on hands and knees (he is a huge fan of the army crawl) -able to get into sitting position on his own -initiating games like peekaboo -talking. He babbles and will occasionally get out 'mama' or 'dads' but it definitely isn't intentional -pulling up on things successfully.
