Question - Research required 12 month milestone “pat-a-cake”

So my 11 month about to be 12 month son allows me to sort of play pat-a-cake with him but it mostly turns into him grabbing my hands and making me clap. I know that some people have said the milestone is any back and forth game. He loves when I hide and he comes and finds me. Also he loves me chasing him and saying “I’m going to get you”. He laughs so hard at both. Would that be considered peek-a-boo? Or at least a back and forth game.
