You all have given me great courage here. I honestly went from scared to confident in one day. I KNOW my child is very intelligent. You can tell just by watching him. I no longer doubt his physical abilities either. He seems to be a very strong boy. Just today he stood on one foot for 10 seconds while only lightly holding my leg with ONE HAND!! I think that he is just comfortable with himself in just crawling wherever he needs to go. He is quite the fast crawler!!
Anyway, I no longer fear anything. Some of the stories only slightly subsided the fears because I was still worried that, even if he did learn to walk at 2 years old, he would forever be behind others his age. I have heard plenty of other stories to completely remove this fear. NO WORRIES, God will see us through!

Keep the faith. And I agree with DM. Take that chart book and smack the doctor silly with it.

Sincerest well wishes for you, your son, and all your family.

Courage man.

Looks like everybody has said the type of stuff I would have said, so no point in repeating.

My cousin had the same fear with her son. Nothing came of it. Don't give into the fear. Wait, be patient and find out for sure.

I was a late walker myself by a couple of months. And I never really did crawl. I can remember the fact that I just loved to roll, so I had no reason to do anything else. My mom told me that I actually ran before I walked hehe. So definitely don't worry overly much about that. As far as the charts go... the last chart I read was on healthy weight and it told me that according to my height/ weight I was obeise and a definite health risk. I found this hilarious since I only have 8% bodyfat. Charts are based an a national average and are not really all that accurate a predicter of anything. obviously, your son was way ahead in early stages but now he's at a slower stage. Before long he'll hit a faster stage again and be caught right back up and possibly ahead of things. I remember a boy in my class that was never over 5'6" all through high school, then i saw him a year later and he was 6 feet tall. Again, it's nothing to worry about.
As far as the MD goes... if your wife doesn't have it then it isn't an expressed gene in her at the least, the gene may not be present at all. If no one in your family has it then the chances of your son having it are very, very remote. Have faith and be confident, and I'm sure everything will be just fine

Prime 2u, your statement about MD is not exactly true. My wife's little brother has MD. His mother does not. Nobody on his father's side EVER had it, yet he still got it. The story goes exactly the same for my wife's cousin. It seems that genes only partly affect it. None of my kids may get it and none of their kids, but one of my great great grandchildren could still be at risk. I don't want to stray from the topic of this thread, but I think that, due to my experience, I know enough about this to give this info for everyone's benefit.
