It's funny how caught up people get in comparing their children to their friend's children.
As many of you know, i am an expert on raising kids (having kept one alive now for nearly two years) so listen up: Just do the best you can.
You could drive yourself crazy trying to make sure your kid is where he or she is "supposed to be" on developmental charts. Some kids just do stuff faster than others.I mean, if your kid is 4 and throws poop at your TV, consult a pediatrician. But if your kid is supposed to be able to point to his or her nose at 7 months and can't do it at 8 months,don't freak out. There is nothing wrong with your kid.Maybe they just don't give a shit about their nose...
The thing is, if you spend time with your kids, they are probably going to turn out just fine. Don''t stress about when they walk, when they talk, if they drool, when to potty train them, etc. You don't see many adults crawling around on all fours drooling, babbling incoherently and crapping their pants so clearly these things have a way of working themselves out.
Keep them safe and love them. You'll be pleasantly surprised at how the rest comes naturally.
Come on...if Evan can do it, anyone can.

speak for yourself- i've seen plenty of adults who crawl, drool, and crap their pants.
yeah. that was me.
what evan forgot to mention was that he put a 2 month old's diaper on the 18 month of child.
to my defense the mom said, "there's a diaper there", and pointed to the only diaper in the room.
the kid stopped cryin so it was a success.
