Remember each baby is different and this is only an estimated time table of development. Information supplied by .
Two Months:
At this age you can expect your baby to smile, laugh and make noises, lift her head and chest up while lying on her stomach, turn toward sounds and to follow you around with her eyes. Over the next few months, developmental milestones will include rolling over, bearing weight on her legs, sitting with support and holding on to a rattle.
Four Months:
At this age you can expect your baby to roll over (front to back), bear weight on her legs, sit with support, hold up her head and chest and support herself on her elbows if she is on her stomach, pull to a sitting position and hold on to a rattle. Over the next few months your baby will start to imitate speech sounds, reach for objects and sit without support.
Six Months:
At this age you can expect her to imitate speech sounds, reach for objects, roll over, and sit without support. Over the next few months she will start to stand holding on to things, pull to a stand, jabber and combine syllables, crawl and transfer things from hand to hand.
Nine Months:
At this age you can expect your baby to sit alone, pull to a stand, stand holding on to things, jabber and imitate sounds, crawl, wave bye-bye, and begin to show separation and stranger anxiety. Over the next few months your baby will start to combine syllables, say mama/dada, walk with her hands held, and bang objects together.
Your baby will now begin to explore how things work, enjoy playing peekaboo and pat-a-cake and being read to. It is important to give lots of praise and many opportunities for exploration.
Twelve Months:
You can expect her to combine syllables, say mama/dada, walk while holding on to things, take a few steps alone, bang objects together, enjoy reading interactively, and point to pictures. Over the next few months she will start to walk well alone, say 3-6 words, understand simple commands, and begin to use a spoon or fork.
This is also a time that your child will begin to explore and try and figure out how things work and will enjoy playtime. It is important to give lots of praise and many opportunities for exploration.
