If : If you are concerned that this child is not developing appropriately, you should bring your concerns up to the child's pediatrician. Evaluation and diagnosis of developmental problems and syndromes can be very difficult and complicated and the child's doctor may also enlist the help of a pediatric developmental specialist or pediatric geneticist. The main thing is that early intervention for developmental delays have been proven to improve outcomes, so getting this child the help that he needs if he is delayed will be very helpful for him. Good luck!

Hard to say: He could just favor one of his parents, or have something more happening.The description you gave is not specific enough to comment much further.This can be sorted out by someone that has all the information and can examine the kid.
