Our son just started waving a few weeks ago, pointing has been a thing for about a month, but not long - I wouldn’t say it is concerning yet! However, you could bring it up at your little one’s 15mo appt.

My son isn't waving yet either and only just started pointing the other day

If he is on track, don’t worry

My baby waves but doesn’t point.

hmm, every baby is different, but if you're worried, maybe chat with your pediatrician just to be safe? I actually checked the 'Heal App' for this and here's what it says: "It's understandable to be concerned about your child's development. At 12 months, many children start to wave and point, but there is a range of normal development. It's important to consider other milestones as well, such as whether your baby is making eye contact, responding to their name, or showing interest in toys and people. If your child is not meeting several milestones or if you have specific concerns, it may be helpful to discuss this with a healthcare professional for further evaluation. Have you noticed any other developmental behaviors, like babbling or playing with toys?"
