in the test site, you seem to have overwritten the style.css of the parent theme with style.css of the child theme;
try and re-install a fresh version of Twenty Twelve in the test site.
Going to build on what alchy said. (because he is correct 😛 )
You over-wrote the default stylesheet that came with the 2012 theme with the new styles that you are creating.
Your Child Theme Stylesheet
and the
Parent Theme Style Sheet
Should not be identical the way that you have them…so you are missing about 1700 lines of css that came with the parent theme.
1. Copy the parent “twentytwelve” theme’s style.css (wp-content/themes/twentytwelve/style.css) from your actual site.
2. Paste it over to the wp-content/themes/twentytwelve folder of the test site
if you would like, I placed the style.css that you need into this pastebin.

Thank you both so much; working perfectly now. Btw, I never would have caught that!
