Sounds pretty normal to me. My daughter lifts both arms up and twists her hands in excitement when she hear Elmo's Song play. Then she kind of rocks back and forth as if she's dancing. Soo cute!
@SDunn15,
Thank you! I feel better!
@Kcummins2015,
Hi, I know this is an old response. I was wondering did your child twirl just his pacifier or other objects too and how often? When did your child stop twirling his pacifier? My child does this and I am concerned.
I think that's normal. My oldest did something like that. It was almost like he was starting a motorcycle. LOL he would put his hand or hands up in the air and do what you described. He is totally fine and 3 years old.
My son was doing this nonstop for probably a month and now only does it when he's excited/about to eat as well. I was getting really scared and mentioned it to my doctor and she said they are just learning how to use their hands and as long as everything else is on track (milestones, responding to their name) there is nothing to worry about.
One of my twins does it with both his hands and feet and pedi said its normal
@Becks1920,
It can be a sign of autism. My pedi said at this age it's completely normal especially if they respond to their name and follow you around but if it is still happening at 18 months or so it would be a concern.
We make a joke that he's practicing riding a motorcycle lol people think it's hilarious when they see him doing it in the stores. I'm not concerned about it though.
@skoesterle,
Adorable! Thank you!
Thank you all for your input!
