Just about every hospital or doctor's office will have some form of Stages of Grown chart. It gives you a list of things that a baby/infant should be doing at certain ages. For example:
19 months to 2 years
Walks well alone with some falling.
Runs and climbs some.
Makes mark with crayon on paper or table.
Sometimes uses spoon to feed self.
Actively helps to dress and/or undress self.
Knows and responds to own name.
Uses more than ten words and understands more than he/she uses.
Follows a direction like "Go get the ball" or "Pick up your toy".
Plays by self, begins own play.
Logan wasn't feeding himself using any utensils, wouldn't respond to his own name (wouldn't look at you when you called his name), no talking anymore and couldn't seem to follow any directions because he wasn't listening or so I thought.
If any of this sounds familiar contact your family physician or local Early Intervention Program in your area to let them know your concerns. It's pretty easy to find an EIP near you by simply typing in Early Intervention Program with the name of your state in a search engine.
