Kellie,

My son did not walk until after his first birthday. I don't want to worry you but my son did very thing normal that a baby and a toddler could do. At age 3 he stop talking and making eye contact with us. He was then diagnosed with AUTISM. For me as a parent it's been very hard to deal with. I have done everything I can to help him out and will continue to do so. He is now 7 yrs old and is talking, which is great for my husband and I. He has shown great progress through out the years.

A child can be diagnosed with Autism as early as 18 months now. Therefore, if Emma is making eye contact, laughing, and flapping her hands this are normal things that babies do. Don't worry Kellie, just pray and ask god to help Emma and take those worries away from you. It will be okay.

I'm expecting my 2nd baby next spring and I am very excited but scared at the same time. I pray that god will give me a healthy baby.

Take care!! :)
