I have a DCB (just turned 1 this past weekend) that I have had since he was 6 months old. When he started with me, he could roll back to belly and belly to back but that's it. Fast forward 6 months. This child still isn't crawling, sitting, pulling himself up, walking, anything! I seriously think this child is developmentally delayed and should see a physical therapist. The only thing he does is holds his own bottle and will feed himself cheerios.

I have looked at the growth chart and the milestones that this child should be at or near and developmentally he's still at 6 months of age.

He can not sit up on his own, he scoots across the floor...not even an army crawl kind of scoot, like he's kicking off with 1 leg kind of scoot, we try to hold his hands or his body to get him to stand and he's on his tip toes and curls his feet.

DCM doesn't seem the least bit concerned and calls it laziness. Should I be this concerned?!
