I would like to know about developmental milestones for a 10 month old baby...?

Question

My son recently turned 10 months old and has his 10 month check up here in a few days. I intend to ask his doctor a ton of questions about his development but the suspense is killing me and I'd like to hear from a few other parents. 
I realize that all babies develop at their own pace but at times I wonder if my son isn't falling behind a little. He has little to no interest in sitting up (although he can do it for a few minutes unassisted if I set him on the floor), rarely pulls himself up on anything, doesn't care to try to stand (again he can stand and hold himself up he just won't do it unless I put him in that position), and won't catch himself if he falls over while sitting. Is it normal for a 10 month old boy to be so lazy? And should I be concerned or will he just start doing these things on his own time?

Yep, every baby is different and if you think your son is lazy, you should meet my daughter.  She was sitting up at 5 months and I thought she was going to be more advanced but oh no she had other ideas!  She did not crawl until 13 months and could not pull herself up until 14 months.  She had never rolled until yesterday and she is now 15 months!  She cannot stand on her own and just falls straight over.  

Like you, I dont think that is that she CANT do things, I think its just that she doesnt want to try.  

I am not being too pushy with her, Im sure she will do things when she is ready. 

Obviously bring it up with your doctor if you are worried but I dont think it is anything to worry about.  As you said he can do things if you put him to it so its not as though he is unable.  

Im sure hes fine, just being a boy of leisure lol.

Edit - my daughter could not even take any weight on her legs until about 10 months, she just crumpled everytime I tried to stand her up.

every baby is different, my son is 10 months old and is starting to pull himself up onto things and is walking holding on to things, but what he is not doing is talking. He says momma and dada when he wants but other then that he just does not like to talk unless it is in his own gibberish. Every babys milestones are different just give it time and dont try to rush things they may not be ready to do yet.

look no longer each and every newborn will sleep via the evening nor do you would possibly want to be making somebody else sleep via the evening. toddlers and toddlers are basically like adults. some human beings sleep properly in the course of the evening and different properly no longer so good. basically because your different newborn slept via the evening does no longer mean this newborn will. it rather is basically stupid to imagine that. basically attempt to address it. All you could do is attempt to figure out why and in case you could't your newborn will ultimately get via this level. My daughter change into 3 a million/2 formerly she slept via the evening. i did not care. It change into basically how she change into. no be counted what i tried it did not artwork so I gave up and then in the destiny she basically slept via the evening. No biggy. that's what being a figure is all about- the late nights and all nighters. maximum persons go via this and intensely few get those that sleep via the entiire evening with out waking.
