My daughter just turned 9 months old today. We're worried about her legs. Her right ball joint only started to form last month, and it is only 1/8 of the size as the left one. When we try to stand her up, she won't. She will actually tuck her legs up to her tush and will not extend them until she is in a position where they're not required (swing, jumper, carseat, etc.)

She sits up great, but can't get to the sitting position by herself. She'll roll over when she wants to, but only a couple of times a day. Mostly from her tummy to her back. She really, REALLY hates to be on her stomach. She started holding her own bottle at 7 months ago and she loves to gum up finger foods. (No teeth yet)

Oh! And she is a little chatterbox She is saying Mama, Dada, Bubba (brother), Kit Kit (kitty cat), Og (Dog), cracker, milk, BaBa (bottle), Hi and Bye, It it go (get it go), ik me up (pick me up) Then of course there are other words that she is still at the parroting stage with.

Should I be concerned with the walking. It isn't just the fact that she won't stand, but she acts like it hurts. The ONLY time she will actually stand with her full weight (16 lbs) on her legs is when we're in the pool and the water is to her shoulders.

She was a little premature, but only by 4 weeks.
