My 20 month old baby does not point at things. He does look at them. Like when I say ball, he will look at a ball but not point. Is that normal?

Each baby's development varies, however, you will typically see pointing develop between 10 and 15 months of age. If your baby is not able to do the following by 18 months, seek out professional help.
Look at objects you are pointing at – nearby initially and far away by 18 months.
Whole hand pointing (10-12 months).
Point at objects of interest – declarative pointing.
Pointing with index finger (12-18 months) at an item of desire – imperative pointing.
