Can/does your 13 month old stack blocks yet?

Question

Hi just wondering-mine cant or just doesn't want to

She has a good pincer grasp & loves puttying things into her toy box & then taking them out & can put the balls into the small holes in her Fisher-Price Roll-a-Rounds: Drop & Roar Dinosaur so I know her eye hand coordination is pretty good

just wondering if stacking blocks is considered a "milestones" since I always read about how at 9 months or so your baby should be able to stack blocks

Answer 1

My son loves stacking blocks, and has done so since about nine months.  However, he doesn't put balls in holes or put things in and out of a toybox like your daughter does.  Thus, each kid is different.  There is nothing to worry about.  Your daughter's fine motor skills are fine, she just doesn't like blocks.

Answer 2

No, mine can't, yet she is very coordinated with her small motor skills.

Answer 3

my one year old is almost stacking. she'll pick up the block and put it on anther, but hasn't gotten the concept of letting it go. i don't think at this point its a major milestone. later on, they have a certain number of blocks they should be able to stack, but at this point its not a huge concern. you do have the one year check coming up, so you can always ask her doctor.
