That sounds perfectly normal to me eoinsmom. I have two little ones who are a month apart and both started with me at about 10 months of age. One walked sooner, one talked sooner, the other one eats better, one catches on quicker to simple commands, the other is way ahead learning letters and counting already. And they are 19 months & 20 months now. We all have our strengths and weaknesses and we are all stubborn in our own ways.
