[quote=Anonymous]My Sister’s daughter has an eighteen mos. old son that I just met this wk.

He is adorable in every way & I cannot wait to spend another two wks. with him until he leaves.

But I have a concern (though it may not be a big deal really.)
Her son wears a toddler hearing aid 🦻🏽 which I have known about since birth.
He has significant hearing loss at birth but because he is so young &gt; the amount of hearing loss is not known for sure at this time.
Doctors estimate it to be moderate -&gt; severe.
My Grand-nephew cannot talk very much which I assume is related to his hearing loss.

However I noticed that at his age, he also cannot walk.
He gets around by crawling around.
He can pull himself up to a standing position using a chair, table, etc.
He occasionally can stand for a minute or two on his own.

Yet unfortunately he cannot take actual steps on his own.
My Sister says he is just not ready to walk yet, that he likely is just lazy and prefers to be held.

But I am a little concerned.
Is eighteen mos. a severe delay in walking?
I only mentioned his hearing issue in case it could affect his motor skills like walking.

Any input/info is greatly appreciated.
Thx.[/quote]
