Hey ladies... And gentlemen if there are any present. Forgive me for posting in the pregnancy forum, but it seems that this is a popular hang out spot for most. I also posted this in the baby milestones. Okay, my son is 5 months old today and already has 5 teeth and he sits up very well without any sort of support. All that i'v read says that these things are not suppose to be happening for a few more months. Do you think that something is wrong with my son. I know this may seem like a stupid question but i'm just afraid that he may have something wrong with him that is causing him to develop to quickly. Thank you all for reading, any replies would be greatly appreciated.

God bless,
teresa

I'm the same way, trey is .V.E.R.Y advanced for his age. He'll be 6 months tomorrow. He's been sitting unsuported since 3 1/2months and can stand with little support, is almost crawling and can play properly with his things. I keep getting worried that he's autistic or something but the doc said he's just a smart healthy (he weighs 25 lbs!) boy. I'm sure ryley is fine, some babies just get teeth early.

Thanks lil blaze! You have a real cutie on your hands!! (i saw the snow pic.) I swear my son has the same cheeks!! Heee heee!! Yep, ryley has been sitting alone for about a week now and he also stands with little support. I guess all babies grow diffrent. I have a chubby one also... He weighs in at about 20lbs now! Big healthy boy! It doesn't even seem like he is my 'baby' anymore... He is growing so fast. Well, thanks again for replying... Take care of your cutie pie!! Oh, I wanted to ask you, is your son holding is own bottle yet... If so, how long has he been doing so??

God bless,
teresa

I think it is a little fast, but not abnormal. My son got his first tooth at 4 months and my daughter got her first at 3 months old. My kids were both sitting up at 5 months, so I think thats pretty normal. At about 6 moths my kids were starting to crawl and at 12 months there are walking well.

Teresa, my oldest was the same.... He had 4 teeth at 5 months, sitting up, was even saying sentences when he was just over a year. He was extremely bright!

I wouldn't worry, be proud(which i'm sure you are)!

Best of luck :)
