My son usually responds to several simple commands (where's your belly button? Go put on your music), but I noticed over today and yesterday he hasn't really listened as much. I asked him over and over and he's either ignoring me or he laughs. I'm worried it's some type of regression. Is this normal behavior?
Lol!! He's being a tease, my daughter is almost 14 months and she does this but I catch her looking at me out of the corner of her eye and then she starts giggling when she see's me coming towards her. If he is laughing he has made up his own game that he is playing with you.
totally normal. if you were asked 100's of times "where's your belly button" you'd get sick of answering too :) teach him something new! you'll probably see better results if you keep it interesting to HIM. good luck!
He's 14 months. It's normal. Don't over think this stuff.

A lot of times the young kiddos stop doing something because their brain is focused on learning something new. He may also be a strong personality and has learned that he can now ignore you, which a much more fun than doing what you asked. Think about it.....at that age it is all just a game to them of "what happens when I do x?. Oh that's funny!"
It could be that he is tired of that game. However, if you are concerned and it continues talk with his pediatrician. My son stopped doing these things at about the same age and he was diagnosed with autism at 26 months. I noticed regression in him at 4 months when he stopped tossing a ball back and forth to me and did not seem interested in interacting with me at all. Stopped playing peek-a-boo and only interested in pushing buttons and spinning things. He starting playing alone a lot at 14 months. Also was the time his baby brother was born. Is he communicating with you? I say he is fine but watch him that is all. :) Best

My little guy (15 months) still doesn't do this because he is too busy figuring out how things work. He slams doors to hear them and bounce back open again. My dad is making him a special one that won't hurt his fingers. He climbs under the sink to see how the pipes work. He wants to take apart my vacuum cleaner. But, he doesn't know one body part and only says out and Uh-oh which means grandma. He will say something that sounds like Mama when he is crying, but only then. So, each kid is different. I'll bet you'll have fun with the next step of his fun development.
