I feel your anxiety. But I also feel you might be reading a little more into your Emma Kelly's behavior. I am a first time mother like you and I am just as paranoid as you, if not more. The arm flapping is just a phase. Do not rush her infancy and the cutie she is. I had so many issues with the previous daycare I had my son in. They insisted my son had ADD and was behind on learning and he was not developing normally. They even questioned his hearing. This was the opinion from a daycare. When they told me this, my heart sank. They had me so scared I
immediatley contacted my Pediatrician and he was furious and angered that a daycare made a "medical assumption" where they had no right to do. He diagnosed my son as a "normal 2 yr old". But, to help ease my mind & heart, he went ahead and referred me to a center for an over all evaluation of my son. That was the scariest appointment in my life. My son & I were escorted into a playroom / gym room. Then about 5-6 women walked in and I am sure they were all sorts of Doctors, Child Pychologist, Behavriol Coaches, etc. It was so over whelming and my heart was racing. I was so terrified. One nurses took my son. She played and interacted with him a distance from me. The rest of the "doctors" questioned me one after the other about my son's habits, his talking, his listening, they way he played in his room, how he interacted with me & my husband,and etc & etc. By the time they got done grilling me, I was emotionally worn down. Eventually we were sent to another room for the hearing exam. I looked at my son and was wondering "why you?" But I said a prayer God and placed it in His hands. I was going to love him and raise him no matter what the outcome was. That night I just layed there with him as he slept, sobbing. My Pediatrician had the results in a week. My son was diagnosed as a normal 2 year old boy. I pulled him out of that day care!! How dare they put me & my husband through this nightmare.
My son is in another day care and he is doing well. Don't stress yourself on something that may not be true. Don't rush Emma Kelly to grow up, enjoy her. She will grow out of it. I had a nephew who never crawled but scooted around and then learned to walk. He skipped the crawling. She is fine. Let her be little. God Bless & keep you both!
